All book sales. Not just bestsellers, but any book. If possible over time as well to watch as things become popular. A window into what people are reading would be fascinating to me.


Nielsen Bookscan collect that data but you have to licence it, alternatively you could get the data from amazon.

That's pretty wide coverage, which is just what I had in mind. Amazon had occurred to me, but I didn't think they would have a large enough percent of total sales.
