Honestly it could mean either. The book store may never run out because nobody is buying it, obviously, or perhaps so many people purchase the book that they order an extremely large amount of copies to ensure that they always have at least a few available for purchase.

it means the publisher is fronting them a lot of copies in a promotional push which may or may not end up on ebay with remainder marks selling for a tiny fraction of the list price

means nobody is buying it.

if the demand was so high that people were buying it constantly it means they would've "run out" at some point, probably in the very beginning with the initial release. BUT SINCE THEY NEVER RAN OUT, this suggests it never had a huge sell record at all, it was just collecting dust.

publishers and distributors aren't perfect, they can't estimate demand 100% accurately from start to finish; there will always be times where a store 'runs out' even for a day or two.

If our eyes can't see no beauty in life, does that mean that there is no beauty in life, or that we are blind to life?
>>
either the book is selling and the copies are always being replaced or no one Is buying it. Ask the manager you piece of shit.

It means that our eyes cannot see the absence of beauty.

If everyone were reading the same book it might as well be read by nobody.
