Actually, in our store the contest is between M&D and the fairly silly
*Conversations With God, Volume 2*. M&D is ahead by only one copy. The CWG
author was in a nearby town grinding his guru axe last week. I am pretty
sure that TRP wasn't on the same guru lecture circuit.


Shameless plug--Anyone living near New Hope, PA, Farleys' Bookshop has a
Big Stack of M&D, and I even set up the triad of copies in the window to
spell out the whole title.

(There follows not a spoiler, but a suggestion for supplementary reading. )

After *Longitude*, you might want to check out *The Emperor's Last Island:
A Journey To St. Helena* by Julia Blackburn.
