... in Lulu's May sales competition!  (More info here: http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1312 )

And it looks like the S&W core book will soon find itself in regular distribution (more info here: http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1257 )

Along with the success of Fight On! and Knockspell magazines, the recent release of the print version of OSRIC, and the announcement that Goodman Games will be allowing Black Blade Productions to produce 1e AD&D versions of some of its modules, it looks like the 'Old School Renaissance' is gaining momentum ... :D

Good question!  Lulu doesn't make this kind of information public, unfortunately.

Congrats to them anyhow!

I bought 3 products from them that month.  Woulda been more but money has been tight and it was the sale that caught my eye.

Good stuff.

I don't have any actual data, but based upon following the scene closely my guess is a few hundred copies sold in the contest month.

Between 500 and 600 printed books sold during the contest month seems to be the zone, but if they keep the contests going on a predictable basis, I'm betting those numbers will climb.

Grats. I know I'm on board with it, have both S&W and WB now and I really dig them both.
