* The source indicates: "Sales volume figures up to 2004 are calculated according to BookScan's GRM (General Retail Market), while those for 2005 are calculated according to TCM (Total Consumer Market). Since this adds to GRM book sales from important non-high street channels such as internet retailers, selected supermarkets and chains, the figures are not strictly comparable."
