Nielsen BookScan <http://www.bookscan.com/> http://www.bookscan.com is a
key source but by no means comprehensive. BookScan "provides continuous
measurement, tracking and analysis of book sales around the world. BookScan
operates in seven countries, spanning four continents: UK, Ireland, US,
Australia, Italy, Spain, South Africa and New Zealand (due to launch late
2007)." Bookscan includes major retailers but not all potential sales. For
example, some books are purchased directly from publisher Web sites

trade journals such as Publisher's Weekly, see

newspaper articles.
