This is apparently an approximate figure, as Nielsen BookScan's stats do not cover 100% of book retailers.

However, Pam Sommers, director of publicity at Rizzoli - Selfish's publisher - was reported as saying that that Nielsen's stats are "not inaccurate" but represent "a very small segment of our sales overall, which are very strong in non-bookstore specialty retailers, and international sales, neither of which report to Bookscan."

"The book is, in fact, a significant success story as a benchmark of the phenomenon of self-portrait in the digital age," Sommers was quoted as saying.
