There is no mention about Martin's overall sales in the Edelweiss entry.

Interesting information from the Edelweiss catalog entry for The Official Game of Thrones Cookbook:

GRRM said in an interview in October last year: All in all, Martin thinks he’s “about 3/4 of the way done.” He’s done writing the full stories for some of the point-of-view characters, “but not others… It’s still gonna take me a while.”

Katherine Arden (from Edelweiss catalog):

I don't think it is that hard. I just haven't read anything GoT related since autumn 2014. I'm not on social media - maybe that makes it easier.

I have never been angry because of the long wait to TWoW. Dissapointed, yes, but not angry. ASoIaF is my favourite ongoing fantasy book series. I haven't watched Game of Thrones after season four, so I don't know anything about the show's ending to the story.

Media tie-in edition of Robert Jordan's The Great Hunt will be released in July. Here is the cover art: https://edel-images.azureedge.net/ea/MM/images/jacket_covers/original/9781250898371_e4f50.jpg

Two updates from Edelweiss catalog: N.K. Jemisin Ben Aaronovitch

Iain M. Banks update from Edelweiss: Garth Nix update

Peter V. Brett update from Edelweiss catalog:

That is not true. The Eye of the World was #13 on the NYT mass market paperback list in January 2022. https://www.nytimes.com/books/best-sellers/2022/01/01/mass-market-monthly/

From Edelweiss catalog: BESTSELLING MOMENTUM: With the release of season one of The Wheel of Time streaming series, the first book in the series, The Eye of the World, was a #1 New York Times bestseller in audio, and hit the list in MM. The boxed sets of books 1-3 were also on the USA Today bestseller list.

It looks like Robert Jordan is more popular than GRRM. From Edelweiss catalog: https://i.ibb.co/cFbmRdR/wot.jpg Also: EXPLOSIVE SALES POTENTIAL: The Wheel of Time series sold 2.5M copies in 2021, with the release of season 1 in November-December, and followed that up with 2.3M copies sold in 2022 despite a 2-year gap between seasons 1 and 2. This number compares very favorably to sales of the Witcher in a similar time period (about 15-30% higher), and we expect to see renewed sales for season 2 in 2023.
