Not sure what to make of them. While they don't make up all sales or reorders, there does seem a perceptible decline in sales each month.<BR>

The big disappointment IMO is DDA #1. Unless I've missed it, it doesn't show up in the Top 300 at all. And this month, you only needed to sell 897 copies to get into the Top 300. Maybe Gary Leach could give us an idea of how well DDA is selling. At any rate, I suppose the 'real' test will be when DD&Friends and MM&Friends come out. At $2.95, price at least, won't be a deterrent to most people.<BR>
