Perhaps they reprinted with "the fault" in order to milk the "limited edition" factor? And remember the "best seller rank" is regionally dependent, i.e. different Amazon servers will deliver different results. There is also historical hysteresis to their figure: my "Developing Java Software" second edition still rates higher than the third edition even though the publisher reports the third edition has sold the same number of copies -- which is actually quite a lot thankfully. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
