Notes of Piper's sales from an email on piper-l.
P.S. Years ago, a fanzine put out by BOOKS ARE EVERYTHING photo-reproduced
the records Piper kept regarding the sales of his stories and books. As an
admirer of Piper, I found it quite interesting: if you aren't familiar with
it, and would like me to send you a xerox of it, I'd be happy to
Sean did send this to me and I've reproduced it, as best
as I could, below. I too found it interesting. It spans a
period of about 18 years, with the final entry just three
months before Beam's death.
