SALES REPORT - Version 1
OVER 6,000 SOLD

We knew that we had developed a great product, but we had no idea that it would be so well received. We introduced the Photo-Atlas of Minerals as a Beta Version in February, 1998 and sold out all 500 by May. In July, 1998, Version 1.0 went on the market and by October, 1998, we had distributed all 1,000 that we made. The 2,000 copies that we produced of Version 1.1 were sold out by October, 1999. We pressed 1,000 copies of Version 1.2 in November, 1999, and these were gone by the end of March, 2000. Version 1.3 hit the market in June, 2000, and by May, 2001, we sold out the 1,000 copies we pressed. As of January, 2005, we have sold all 1,000 copies of Version 1.4 that were pressed.

Perhaps even more impressive is how widespread our sales have been. Within the United States, we have users in all 50 states. In Canada every province and territory is represented except Newfoundland.
