BFA comes in 12th.
I'm not exactly sure how they compile this list, which includes both fiction and non-fiction, so the ranking is . . . who knows?
Still, nice to see even if I don't know what it means.
First review on Amazon. That's the short version from "Opinionated Bastard." For the full-up version, go here. Eventually I'll get around to "reviewing the reviews." For now I'll just note them. This guy puts some real effort into it, so worth reading.
Here's the Amazon pre-pub list:
