How many copies would you expect to sell in, say, the first five
years, and what would be the ballpark revenue to the author?

Mine's only been out for a few weeks, but everyone I talk to with any experience tells me that I won't recover my effort in royaltie checks (although they may buy more than a coffee). I'm hoping that it'll lead to more business, but if not then I've at least done my bit for explaining a corner of human knowledge in (hopefully) a bit more accessible way than has been done to date.
