Print Sales Data
Circana Publishers Marketplace BookScan provides unlimited use of the BookScan US point-of-sale database.
The updated BookScan platform provides more features and data analysis than ever before.
Visualize Data
Book sales can be displayed week-by-week, year-to-date, and cumulative since publication, with additional visualization thanks to a powerful new graphing feature. You can also compare up to 10 titles against each other. For more granular data, you can see—and map—book sales across 100 different regional markets.
Comprehensive Reports
Agents can generate comprehensive reports for all works by a particular author,
and save lists of ISBNs to check on a weekly basis, making it easy to track all
of their clients’ titles. Enhanced lists let users select and save a vast range
of custom weekly or year-to-date lists across multiple formats, over 100 subject
categories, and even build lists by publisher. All of this data is easily
downloadable as well.
See Sales In Context
When you subscribe to PM Bookscan, you will automatically see print and ebook sales data for tens of thousands of titles embedded in PM editor Dealmaker pages! This unique feature is the only place you can look at Bookscan data in context.
eBook Sales Upgrade
For the most complete view of the marketplace, PM BookScan subscribers have the option of adding ebook sales data through the separate Circana PubTrack Digital service. PubTrack Digital presents actual, complete US ebook unit sales, as reported by more than 450 participating publishers, including the largest US publishers. Circana estimates the service covers 80 percent of the traditionally published ebook market.
PubTrack Digital reports monthly (not weekly) and on a time-delayed basis, with results posted two months after each sales month.
As with Bookscan, on PubTrack Digital you can search by author, title or
ISBN, and the sales data is both downloadable and graphable. A smaller
set of build-your-own ebook bestseller lists is also available.
Single annual subscription is $2,750 for the first user at an agency
Each additional subscription at the same agency is just $600 per user
Pubtrack Digital upgrade is $600 per year, and $300 for each additional user

What’s Included
For companies with 5 or more agents, the Full Agency license is the
efficient way to provide everyone at the agency with the deepest levels
of sales data and analysis available. Medium and large agencies get premium
data tools including Market Overview, Advanced Search and Report Builder,
enjoying the same capabilities as large publishers.
Priced according to your agency
size, with tiers for small, medium and large agencies, this license
provides:
Individual accounts for every agent, including both BookScan and PubTrack Digital
Monthly mailings of Circana BookScan analyst Kristen McClean's newsletter on market trends (or, for the large tier, weekly mailings and invitations to her periodic webinars)
Market Overview
Customizable data on how the overall market and individual market segments are performing;
information on market share and sales for top publishers; overall regional sales data
(for medium and large tiers).
Advanced Search
This lets you perform all kinds of detailed bulk searches; and also lets you search by important additional fields, such imprint name and illustrator name (for medium and large tiers).
Report Builder
An analyst-level tool that lets you create very sophisticated searches and pull down data sets of thousands of ISBNs for analysis (for the large tier only).
To track or research sales on a small number of titles, the Data Package
lets you follow weekly print sales from BookScan for up to 5 individual,
designated ISBNs, for only $25 a month. (You can change any, or all, of
those 5 ISBNs each new subscription month.) It also includes a weekly list
of the top 20 bestselling titles, with unit sales.
For each of the five ISBNs you enter, you’ll see US unit sales for
the most recent sales week, the year to date, and lifetime, starting in
2004.
For some titles, you will also see actual ebook sales, too. (When you
select a print ISBN to track, if our system detects a matching ebook
ISBN for which data is available, that will be displayed as well.)
Real book sales data has never been so accessible or affordable. Eligible PM members include agents, scouts, authors, film/tv people, packagers, editorial services providers, and publicists.
This package is $25 and is billed monthly.
You must have a monthly PM membership first. (Quick Pass does not provide access to this upgrade.)
