business news in context, analysis with attitude

By the end of just its first day of sale last Saturday, the new Harry Potter novel had sold five million copies - more than last year's best-selling novel, by John Grisham, sold in 12 months.

Almost a fifth of the copies of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," by J. K. Rowling, were sold by Amazon.com.
KC's View:
And our copies showed up at the door early Saturday afternoon, and both Brian and David are loving them.
