Crass self promotion

Hey gang, it appears that Voices of Vision is now available for pre-order at Barnes & Noble. One thing I find interesting is:
People who bought this book also bought:
• The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth Ruth S. Noel, Tolkien J. R. R., J. R. R. Tolkien
• The Science of Harry Potter: How Magic Really Works Roger Highfield
• The Complete Guide to Middle-Earth: From The Hobbit Through The Lord of the Rings and Beyond Robert Foster
• Tolkien: The Illustrated Encyclopaedia David Day
• Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien J. R. R. Tolkien, Humphrey Carpenter (Editor)

I can see the speculative fiction connection there, and also the non-fiction connection. That particular breakdown also leads me to believe that B&N has had exactly one pre-order, since the "also bought" titles constitute a fairly tight cluster.

The other thing I notice on that page is that their "customer reviews" section is live. Which means all of you folks can rush on over and write positively glowing commentary. That is, once you've read the book and can comment objectively, of course. Remember, every little bit helps!

Elsewhere, you can visit Books-A-Million and assign a rating of one to five stars, or head on over to Amazon.com and watch my sales ranking plummet like the Huygens probe through Titan's atmosphere...
