So ?????<BR/><BR/>The problem really is, that as published, it wasn't well written. But it's all good, in the end! So one really cannot complain. For instance how many books get into that magazine -- without paying for advertising in that magazine? That's a Big Deal! It's just like getting into the chain bookstores -- your publishers have to pay, and by now the chains have strangled themselves. Fewer and fewer titles are in those stores, and the indies, which they nearly entirely starved out of existence, are coming back. And online sales of books are booming.<BR/><BR/>Evolution bites, when it bites you.<BR/><BR/>Love, C.Foxessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754083123669916994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680622593910991248.post-54565457683315829222008-02-18T11:03:00.000-05:002008-02-18T11:03:00.000-05:00Great interview with Bob Edwards!

This guy deploys an old trick: He doesn't like the conclusions of the book but can't find much wrong with the essential arguments, so he picks at the edges as if they were significant.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10222703055177237209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680622593910991248.post-86679011114006886352008-02-16T16:35:00.000-05:002008-02-16T16:35:00.000-05:00Synergy The review in the NY Times Sunday Book Rev...Synergy <BR/>The review in the NY Times Sunday Book Review this weekend, and this afternoon, NPR's Bob Edwards's interview with Vaquero about TWTMNO, with him reading from it too, is running on our local public radio station -- FM. I hardly ever have on the FM station since it is the 'culture' side, and I tend to listen to the talk shows, which is the AM side. I.e., politics and current events.<BR/><BR/>Things are working out in their own way. The book review in on the most e-mailed list of book stories, so, there ya go.<BR/><BR/> <BR/>"The Bob Edwards Show" is also on satellite. In the meantime, here's the Bob Edwards Weekend site, which is radio broadcast as well. This can be downloaded as a podcast, without a fee, I believe.<BR/><BR/>http://www.bobedwardsradio.com/bob-edwards-weekend/<BR/><BR/>This is pretty good, I think.<BR/><BR/>Love, C.Foxessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754083123669916994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680622593910991248.post-80652239087821721422008-02-16T01:00:00.000-05:002008-02-16T01:00:00.000-05:00The good news is that any publicity is good.The good news is that any publicity is good.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.com
