My books are for sale at the www.amazon.com internet bookshop, and most of them one can find via my author page www.amazon.com/author/khtervola . At individual book's info there quite often is a sales ranking. That means if the book were on the most sold books' list, how many different books the list should have for my book to be the lowest, i.e. least sold on that list. The listings somehow take into account for how long the book has been for sale. Mostly my books haven't sold any copies, except me myself having bought one or two of some of them. Yet the subjects are often interesting (and my quality as a thinker good), so some might guess them having sold thousands of copies, even tens of thousands. Such is the feeling when writing my blogs, as if some really would like the blogs and the new posts, and the free versions of my books. But somehow that does not seem to lead to any books sold.
At least in Finnish the names with the word "terve" as somehow a part of the name, interest many who would like to get healed or learn healing skills and stay fully healthy. So maybe such creates an impression of fame even if the name isn't the same and isn't the point, and even though such person's versions of these skills often differ a lot, but anyway the subject seems worth a glance for quite many.

15th of June 2024 If the sales ranking as a number seems to relate to your view of how many would maybe have liked to read the book or at least glance it through, maybe that impression of a number is how many would have liked tl borrow it from a library or as an ebook from an elibrary, and only a much much smaller number would have liked to have such a book on their own book shelf in the long run.

13th of October 2024 I found one book of mine being high in some ranking: #82 in "Business of Art Reference" my book "Traditional skills have a place in the modern world", see https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DF5D39QL , I guess because in it was told of the piece of news from Mikkeli that lots of things had been stolen from some house, and there was an explanation guess of it plus such handiwork good side skill/skills taught / described.
Now later today
