The latest royalty statement for Ubuntu Hacks just arrived from O'Reilly, and the numbers are even better than I expected. Sales are way down compared to the post-launch quarter but they certainly haven't dried up entirely: just a hair under 3000 copies sold in the quarter ended Sep 30 2006! And since it sold out the advance in the first quarter (an impressive result according to Michael Still) that means the royalties are all free and clear at this point.
Not exactly enough to retire on, but a nice bit extra on the side. And it's even nicer when my Mum finds reviews like this!
