61% of what?

Not being a smart ass. I just don't know. Is this of amazon's initial order?

I am not sure how Amazon does its rankings. It says What do customers ultimately buy after viewing this item? I guess it is like a pre-buying poll.

so if you look at the page about the book, 61% of the people actually pre order it.

kinda a weird ranking.

But I ordered 2 copies long ago.

Wonder what Chuck thinks of Sterling's book? Seems as if he did mention it in those rankings.

It means that 61% of people who view that item ultimately buy that item. Then the other percentages are people who go on to view other items from that item's page and buy those instead (or as well). I know it's weird, but they do that because they want people to also view items of a similar interest. In fact if you view my book Chuck's book automatically comes up as a "buy them together" deal, and when you view his it can help steer people to mine, which has been great. It kinda helps create a sceanrio where when Chuck goes and does a huge piece of exposure like Rockline, it will wind up helping me, too, LOL. And vice versa.

I hope all is well.

It's my understanding that Chuck has not read my book. My book is in those rankings because apparently 16% of people who view his book go on to purchase mine. I am looking forward to Chuck's book very much.
