I would say that good reviews in library journals can help an author a great deal, too. I depend on journals and selection aids to help me decide what to buy for the library. In order to make the best use of the funds I have, I concentrate on purchasing the most highly recommended books I can find.
My public library bought 13 copies of KoA (11 of which are checked out right now). Even before the copies were in, lots of people put the book on reserve. Supply and demand. When all the copies of a title are checked out and kids are chomping at the bit to get the book, I order more copies.
