Woo. Dave Krieger submitted a review of my book to slashdot, and the slashdotties posted it. This has more or less immediately improved my Amazon sales rank (which I monitor obsessively, for which I hang my head in shame) from the 35,000 level to the 1,800 level. Maybe more importantly, I feel like it's helping to get the word out about what the book actually is about, which seems to be something that many people (including many in its target audience) are confused about.
As part of the same spasm of book-promotion activity that led me to beg Dave K. to write and submit that review, I had asked Dave Cross if he would be willing to do the same, and his review is now available for reading at either of these locations:

http://www.dave.org.uk/reviews/website.html
I feel extremely grateful to both Daves, both for their being willing to take the time to read and write reviews of the book, and for the really nice things they chose to say about it. This is definitely one of the best parts about having written the thing.
You guys rule. Thanks again.
John
