About the Service

Nielsen Publishers Marketplace BookScan is a data service provided jointly by Nielsen BookScan and PublishersMarketplace.com. It provides unlimited searches of the BookScan US point-of-sale database, along with special reports (revealing week-by-week sales; regional sales; DMA sales) and comprehensive author reports. The subscription also includes access to the full package of BookScan's more than 70 weekly bestsellers lists, and a "Sales Tracker" that lets you store a standing list of ISBNs to refer to regularly.

Finally, literary agents have reasonably priced access to the same comprehensive weekly sales data used by book publishers. And it comes with the same look, feel and ease-of-use as all the other data-rich resources at PublishersMarketplace.com. When you subscribe, Nielsen Publishers Marketplace BookScan is an added section of PublishersMarketplace that you'll see whenever you log in.

A few important general notes:

• Nielsen Publishers Marketplace BookScan is available exclusively for agents (literary agents and agencies, as well as film agents and agencies)
• Access is provided by pre-paid annual subscription only
• You need a PublishersMarketplace.com account in your name in order to sign up for Nielsen Publishers Marketplace BookScan (but of course you have one already)
• Each subscription covers one person only. Access will be monitored, and our ability to provide this service to the community rests on respectful compliance with the stated terms of use.
• The price is $2,000 per year for a single subscription. There is a substantial discount for multiple users at the same agency: after the first/primary subscription, each additional user within the same is charged $400 per year.
