Inside LabourStart

Book sales have dramatically improved compared to where we stood a year ago.  Last April, I reported to you that our sales for the entire first quarter of 2009 in partnership with UCS totalled around $700.  This year, in the first 3 weeks of 2010, those sales total $3,238.  In other words, we might be able to achieve sales of $14,000 this quarter — 20 times the sales we had in the first quarter of 2009.  I need to keep emphasizing that this is still not a lot of money for LabourStart, as we take in only 10% of that.  But it’s great to be able to bring so many labour books to the attention of our readers and to help in any way we can.
