Don't forget, for those of you in the Boston area, Tom is at the Public Library tonight at 6.
Current Amazon sales rank is 349. It was in the 200s last night after Hugh's show and the NYT review.
We have a new 3-star review and a new 1-star review. But Tom says I need to be more balanced on these ;-)
I really liked Elmer Humes' comment yesterday, especially this part:
I e-mailed the NYT Book Magazine Sunday to inquire when Great Powers would be included & was delighted to find this review today.(Hopefully, the NYT Sunday Magazine will also have a review soon as well.)
Thanks, Elmer! Any emails you can send like this to friends or media outlets are certainly very much appreciated. We've just got a couple more days in our project to make GP a bestseller.
Good work, everyone!

Wow! I just finished reading your wonderful Hugh interviews comparing them to Charlie Rose and suggesting you try and get to his table & returned to your website to find this kudo. Lets try to get Charlie interested!

There's a few more one star reviews. Fortunately, they are mostly spiteful in nature and badly written.

Sean,
You are right, I don't read *every* word here, lol. If I read every word of all the blogs I like, I'd have to quit my job and devote my day to this.
I made it. I was late, but I was there by 1830. I loved it!!!
But I was terribly upset by one thing - the assertion that no one loved John Adams. That's ridiculous! This is Boston, Mr. Adams is more than loved. We were in the BPL which, with the exception of the MHS up the street, is the largest repository of Adams material.
I do agree, Adams was a "fixer". However, I use that term with reverence. You can not put a price on a good fixer.
The new book has cut the line of all other reading material and as soon as I finish "Sea of Thunder" it's on to "Great Powers".

i hear you, Maggie.
wonder how Tom would respond about Adams. my guess: few people loved Adams in his time, fewer outside Boston. fixers are great and revered as we look back, but maybe seldom loved at the time...
