Marquo -
I think you are correct. Beevor writes more to the mass audience - or at least the books that get to the US are targeted that way. Many of Glanzt's books and articles are "university press" - or at least started that way. These usually run about 1,000 volumes or less and are targeted for the hard core fan interest or a researcher. Small runs, published without a lot (if any) staff support (like editors) and usually not well circulated.
Due to Glanzt original research, a lot of his stuff - even though still published by the university press - runs a lot higher runs. He's just struck a "hot spot".
I suspect both Beevor's and Erikisons volumes sold at least was well as Glanzt best - and Erikison much better if I had to bet. Beevor usually doesn't have much to interest me due to his target audience; Glanzt does but he's hard to read and many times boring. Erikson, when I first read him, was excellent (its been awhile).
