I worked a half day today (so I could come home and read). When I left
around noon we had sold 2 copies, one of which was to myself. I imagine
that the novel will sell well at independent stores at first seeing
as those are the type of stores Pynchon people generally tend to
frequent.
Once to book makes the best sellers though I think sales at chain stores
will pick up. Book sales tend to increase for best sellers just by
virtue
of the fact they are best sellers.
