Chopra didn't have a non-fiction book on the market during that time, IIRC. Also, we never made it to the NYT bestsellers list using that strategy I believe, only to the lesser bestsellers lists. However, that was enough to encourage the publishers themselves to devote more resources to promoting Chopra's books. ------------------------ Yahoo!
