Are large numbers of readings indicative?

Today, when books are published in Armenia in a maximum of 100-500 copies, it is hard to imagine that at one time, for example, in the Soviet era, books were published in thousands, tens of thousands of copies. How many copies and sales guarantee their reading, what are the reasons for the large number of books in the world? These issues are being examined in parallel by literary critics Hayk Hambardzumyan and Arkmenik Nikoghosyan.
