Having just got in the usual quarterly returns from IPR, I can now report on sales for Cold City during the third quarter of 2007.
Overall, sales remain good, keeping well into the average of 48 monthly sales through all channels. However, the quarter was boosted by the fact that Gen Con was on, giving us a boost of sales in August and a tail effect in the weeks after.
The monthly breakdown is as follows:

IPR: 15

Q3 2007 Totals
IPR: 52

Con: 43

S overall, it was a positive quarter. However, the fact that both Gen Con and Origins are on will certainly have had an affect. Without Gen Con and Origins sales, the figures drop by about 30%. The release of the Companion (which I'll give figures for in another post) will also have helped boost sales.
Regardless of these factors, it's great that CC continues to sell well. Our current running total of copies shifted, as of the end of September 2007, is 758 copies.
Cheers
