The Cowboy and the Cross, Bill Watts' book has now sold 1031 copies according to Bookscan, but it became available at the beginning of March 2006--not in January of 06.
The Missing Link's book has sold 172 Bookscan-tracked copies since it was released on May 28th (not April 1st).
For what it's worth--and remember, as much as 40% of the sales of these titles may not have been recorded in these figures--here's the Bookscan Accounting for 10 of the best-selling wrestling-related titles for the two-week period ending June 18, 2006 (the number of copies reported sold since June 4, 2006):
The Rise and Fall of ECW by Thom Loverro (WWE Books): 1731 copies Cheating Death, Stealing Life by Eddie Guerrero (WWE Books): 476 copies Heartbreak and Triumph by Shawn Michaels (WWE Books): 408 copies World Wrestling Insanity by James Guttman (ECW Press): 378 copies Hardcore History by Scott Williams (Sports Publishing): 345 copies Ric Flair: To Be the Man (WWE Books): 181 copies The Death of WCW by R.D. Reynolds (ECW Press): 180 copies Superstar Billy Graham (WWE Books): 116 copies Bang Your Head by Dewey "This Missing Link" Robertson and Meredith Renwick (ECW Press): 94 copies Terry Funk: The Hardcore Legend (Sports Publishing): 47 copies
