I don't really know, but Graupner in an AR Editions series is likely to sell better than Graupner standalone, because many libraries just subscribe to the whole AR Editions series, as they would with complete works sets. Andrew Stiller might have knowledge on this, but he might be unable to share it with us for proprietary reasons. -- David W.
