I get that impression sometimes. What do you think?

I doubt that it is more successful - though admittedly I don't have anything resembling sales figures to back that up - but certainly it's clear that it was something of a hit in some non-U.S. countries, as opposed to others where it didn't even get translated for its full run.

It's too bad book sales numbers aren't tracked / made public like box office numbers, or we could find out for sure. In which countries was it not translated for all thirteen books?

I can't say without a more exhaustive investigation whether any countries outright gave up (and I have read series where the translation into English has been abandoned midway), but what I was remembering is that it seems to have taken the German editions a couple of tries; and I remember hearing that it was the same for some other languages, too.

Even though sales outside the US are lower, the most enthusiastic fans are outside the US, and I think we are evidence of that.

It's certainly true that ASoUE successfully attracted quite an international audience, and back in the day - now, too, albeit less so - 667 had prominent members of many nationalities indeed. It was quite a diverse community.

I'm from Australia and ASOUE is popular here.

667 has had a number of prominent Australian members over the years, so this information tallies.
