One thing I did notice during my quick scan;
"selling 5000 copies on the day of release would bump it up Amazon" That would only happen surely if the sales went through Amazon at Amazon's retail price, wouldn't it?

I'll look forward to hearing how your co-authored book works out. Remember, I'm one of the World's top pessemists.
