Obviously my unwholesome obsession with my book's ranking at Amazon.com
isn't unusual. In fact, there's an entire web site devoted to authors'
unwholesome obsessions with their Amazon ranking. <a
href="http://www.amazonscan.com/" target=_blank>Amazonscan.com</a>
tracks your book, video tape, or tchotchke over time. And even ranks
the top gainers and losers each day. Like a stock ticker.

My <a href="http://www.amazonscan.com/index.cfm?asin=0789726912"
target=_blank>personal page</a> shows the hour by hour ranking of my
book since it shipped on December 5. But that's just not enough. I need
a chart.

I'm guessing the high peaks after Christmas and 1/12 occurred when
Amazon ran out of stock. But I love how it's hovered below 40 ever
since. Hey. I'm not getting any money for this book. I've got to get my
jollies somehow.
