Official figures for the last full week of book sales before Christmas show that Brian O’Driscoll heavily outscored Roy Keane.

According to the Irish Independent, Brian O’Driscoll’s ‘The Test’ sold 10,152 copies, worth nearly €200,000. 

Sales of Roy Keane’s ‘The Second Half ’ meanwhile were 6,753 copies, worth just under €131,000.

The Nielsen Bookscan figures cover sales in most outlets in Ireland and its figures are regarded by the book trade as the most accurate available.
