At midnight on 13th January 2017, we are increasing the GB pound prices in our webstore. This article explains how we calculated our new prices, and some of the reasons for the increase. For a full breakdown of the reasons behind this price increase, see my previous article, Brexit and Price Adjustment. Why Adjust the Prices? Before I […]
[Note to self – musn’t use pie charts. Steve Dempsey says they are bad.] It’s been another great year. Reading last year’s post, this post is like a sequel to last year’s – in a Godfather 2 rather than Highlander 2 way. The key phrase for this year is mid-tier. We aspire to the median […]

The net margin picture (which includes a lot of guess work) looks a little different: PDF sales declined as a percentage of net margin, because of the mammoth Ashen Stars and Bookhounds pre-orders, but increased overall.

This post covers the relative success of the different lines of lines of products. If you have any questions, post in the comments. Core Book Sales This pie chart shows the proportion of sales we’ve had for each of our core lines, since we started. The second, how each fared in 2011. What I note […]
This post compares this year and last. I’ll look at my 2011 predicitions as I go through the figures. Another post will look at a few sales numbers. The first thing to say is that this has been a great year for Pelgrane. Our turnover more than doubled, and it’s twice the turnover of the […]
