Thanks!

This is great stuff.

I went to your home page and noted that you are one of the top book review writers -- and I see you are reviewing intersting books.

I'll go and read your reviews. I am also bookmarking this thread. :)

Thanks! The way the rankings on Amazon move around suddenly, I have to conclude there is some skullduggery going on. Sometimes it's just a matter of having an ISBN dropped, which cuts off the votes one used to have. I've noticed that my reviews sometimes disappear, and sometimes that's because the title is gone, republished with a new number. In the past, Amazon would recycle the reviews, but they no longer do that conscientiously. Sometimes the disappearances are due to some other problem, such as the action of a pair of authors who objected to my review of a competing title. At least, that's what I heard tell through a coauthor of the competing title. She's a nut though. ;') In any case, I hope my reviews warrant some more "helpful" votes from you and others here on the FR.
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
