Talking of The Beano, I didn't have a chance to mention the sales figures of the Beano Annual last week. The book sold 5,217 copies w/e 13 Jan (#36); unfortunately, the Sunday Times online bestsellers listing has been the same two weeks running. A rough (but hopefully educated) guess puts total sales of this year's annual at around 210,000 copies and still selling.
