Re: TDPL is #75 on the bestselling list at bestbookbuys.com

Hello Steven,


I have a feeling that bestwebbuys counts a purchase when you click
on  the referring BUY link to e.g. amazon, even if you don't buy the
book at  that site.



In that case it's counting interest in books, not sales. That's a different 
but also interesting metric.

TDPL is #75 on the bestselling list at bestbookbuys.com

There are only three programming books on their Top 100 list. The other 
two are Modern C++ Design (#12) and C++ Coding Standards (#28).


This all sounds great, but it must be because my homepage links to 
bestbookbuys.com. :o)

yet ;-)
