Between the end of the year and this year, two of my books have sold.
どなたかは存じませんが、お買い上げ頂き、誠にありがとうございます。
I don't know who you are, but thank you very much for your purchase.
でも、販売冊数の合計は、2桁に至っていません。
But the total number of books sold has not reached double digits.
『自分のニーズが、世界のニーズではない』ということを、今、しみじみと実感しています。
I am now keenly aware that 'my needs are not the needs of the world'.
