Just mosied over to Amazon.co.uk to see if my little paragraph of appreciation for David's book had yet appeared. Yes, there it was, and I was stunned to see that the book had rocketed from 70,000th or so to 3975! That is an unbelievable number for a book of poetry by someone not named Heaney! That said, let me point out that with Spherians left and right bringing out new collections, we could do worse than to express our appreciation of our brethren's efforts at both Amazon and at BN.com.

I just ordered mine on Amazon UK. If everyone planning to order a copy does so today, I bet we can make the Amazon number soar!

It says it will take several weeks to arrive. Bummer.

Mine arrived in a week. Take heart - it's worth the wait.

Thanks very much to you all: I really appreciate your support.
The Amazon ranking system seems to be quite erratic. There's a yo-yo effect, and I think quite a small number of orders can make a big difference to the rankings short-term. However, the overall trend seems to be getting better rather than getting worse, so I'm encouraged by that.
Best wishes,
David
