I was wondering whether there is a graph/table with total sales of each of the Bond novels which I could use in a serious academic paper. I've read that gathering such data is difficult as there are various publishers both in and outside the UK. The same goes for Bond films. Are there any reliable sources. I believe that information in R.Benson's comapnion are really good, but they're also out-of-date.

There is one in  the excellent, The James Bond Phenomenon, edited by Christopher Linder 

 
It is culled from here, Bond and Beyond: The Political Career of a Popular Hero (Communications & Culture)
 
Publishers are notoriously cagey about book sales.
