Random House’s experiment allowing readers a limited time only free download of Charles Bock’s Beautiful Children is now over and the numbers are in. Random House publicist Jynne Martin tells The Millions that during the 72 hours that the site was up, it received just under 30,000 pageviews, 20,000 unique visitors, and just under 15,000 copies of the book were downloaded.
These stats are only for the Random House hosted site and don’t yet included the downloads from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Powells.
Of the numbers, Martin said, “We’re thrilled!”
