Thanks very much, I appreciate that! The book is actually still doing well, and next month will be a year on the market, so I'm very happy with that.

Hey Sterling-
I am not sure if I posted this already on the Yahoo mail list, but...... Congratulations on a job very well done. I don't think I have ever read an entire book in less than 2 days.

Thanks! When I wrote this book, I thought it was so densely packed with quotes and new interviews that people would take a while to read it, probably read a chapter a night. That's why I wrote the chapters each with a complete beginning, middle and end, so that each is a story unto itself. But what do I know? LOL. I've had a lot of people read it in two days flat. Someone e-mailed me recently who had just finished reading it for the fifth time. Wow! I'm not sure I have read it that much. It's really flattering and very nice of people to share such great stories, so I always appreciate it.

I hope all is well.

You can't write so we know you haven't read a book that doesn't have pictures in it, much less one that doesn't kiss Dennis'
ass.

Congrats Sterling, nice to see the positive reviews - for the record I enjoyed the book because of the complexity. I thought the "facts and figures" were well put together. Thanks for putting the time into a good read.

Wow, did you actually find it in stock at B&N? Where do you live? I have been trying to get them to buy a bulk order and running into snags, so anywhere I can point to where someone has bought it at retail makes a difference.

Thanks, I hope all is well. Enjoy the book!

How do we get the AUTOGRAPHED copy?

No, much to the chagrin of some folks, I'm not dead yet.

LOL, sorry about the mixup. Darn that Chuck, always following me around!

You can order my book autographed through Amazon for $15.99. Go to Amazon, do a title search, and then click on the vendors offering the book and click on "Sterlingwit", which is me. Once your order is completed I will sign and date the book and ship it out the next day.

You can also probably special order it in most book stores, but it will cost more and take longer. A lot of libraries are starting to get it, too, so check your local library.

Thanks for your interest. I hope all is well.
