Books rule OK!
Quoted in the New York Times
“Stephen Riggio, chief executive of Barnes & Noble, the largest bookseller in the country, said the book business had upstaged even Hollywood. The five million copies sold, at retail prices from $17 to $30, surpassed the first weekend’s box office for the latest blockbuster movie, ‘Hulk’, which sold $62.6 million in tickets in its three-day opening weekend.”
I love the fact that books can still enchant like this — although granted this as an extra-ordinary book.

In Australia some people got copies with 50 pages from 545 missing and a repeat of the pages around 145 substituted. They were not pleased. I have found it comforting because we have just had copies of “Pioneering Pathways” delivered and 4 pages have been irretrievably printed incorrectly meaning we have to order a complete reprint at no expense to us and postpone the book launch! Happy days!
