A bit of a brag–my editor has informed me that WEIT has made the New York Times’s extended best seller list in non-fiction: number 31. Not something I ever imagined would happen, but it’s really nice. Now begins the futile race to catch up with “Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Changed the World.” See Dewey’s story here, and if you MUST buy this nefariously competing tome, do so here. Dewey stands at #3, and received a multimillion dollar advance. There is no competing with cat books. I begged my editor to put a kitten on the cover, but for some obscure reason she refused.
Hi Jerry. I’m looking forward to getting your book. Actually, I’m a bit surprised that your blog isn’t more trafficked than it appears to be according to comment numbers. One thing I have noticed is the lack of links to it from other science blogs and/or skeptic blogs. Maybe you should do a little reciprocal linking? Also, for some reason, everybody seems to be blogging about your book and/or your review of Gibberson’s and Miller’s books. But oddly, none of the posts seems to point out your blog. I honestly think not very many people know about it.
Not to nitpick or anything, but I thought you might want to know that the first link in the post doesn’t work. Too many http’s 😉
Thanks for calling this to my attention. Link fixed so you can read about Dewey–a very endearing story.
Jerry, congratulations on getting into the New York Times Best Seller List: it’s no more than your excellent book deserves, I’ll finish my copy this evening and I have thoroughly enjoyed every page.
By the way, when you get a second, can you fix your RSS title? 🙂
What is RSS, please?
