Selling at a brisk pace???

     Absolutely.  Just like Coliseum books having sold 15+ copies by 9:45 
     this morning (including the four to the NYPL co-conspirators who 
     humoured my attempt at sleeping in) is typical.
     
     Seriously, with a 175K first printing, the book is almost certainly 
     going to be no worse than #3 on the NYT/PW Bestseller List(s) next 
     week.  Scary thought, that.

I just picked up That Book at 10:30 AM at the Harvard Bookstore 
.....second to last copy left!  Although I guess they put them out 
yesterday...the woman who sold it to me (no klueless klerk, she!) said 
that they'd been "melting away" since they put them out......
The People's Republic of Cambridge is a realistic indicator for the rest 
of America, right?
