I know from experience that over the next few days, the book’s position will slowly creep back to 3,751,233.
And then I’ll have to order another copy.
The headline sounds impressive. At first glance, it suggests the book has sold a million copies, or made a million dollars. All it really means is, someone has pre-ordered a single copy of What We Found in the Sofa and How It Saved the World from Amazon.com and moved the book very briefly from where it was yesterday – at position 3,751,233, right between Fletch Your Own Arrows and How To Make Hats Out of Pork – to a position within Amazon’s list of top million sellers.

Oh, I figured it out...it's the TIME TRAVEL thing comes up when Goggle search myself... You can always delete it than you will never have to hear from me again. Believe it or not I had a good laugh seeing you reminded that it was your sense of humor that got me through 20 years... and your friendship made it worthwhile. I really will buy your book and put it on my coffee table so I can say " I knew Henry when...on a fall afternoon in broad daylight we really did witness a humongous UFO " If you recall, so did 50,000 other people that called 911! Now that would make a great children's book. Congratulations ! Gail
