Hello Alex,

Is there a reason you are asking this question? Are you thinking of
proposing a book?

Ingram (http://www.ingram.com), a large book distributor, used to have
a phone number that you could dial, punch in an ISBN number, and then
hear Ingram's sales figures for that book for the current month. But
that's only Ingram, and I don't know the number, nor do I know whether
the service is still available. Most publishers don't divulge sales
figures.

Best regards,

Jonathan Gennick

My apologies. I meant for my note to go directly to Alex, not to the
list. I forgot to paste in his email address before I hit send. Sorry
about that.
