How I Became a Ghost has been in the top 20 or so on Amazon's category of "Best Sellers in Children's Native American Books" this week, especially if you don't count the duplicates. Go Tim! Since many of us have ordered it from Birchbark Books or other independents, I'm hoping the Amazon numbers don't reflect the actual sales. And checking a book out of a library also helps, because libraries keep track of circulation numbers and order accordingly.
Debbie, you are a wealth of important information. Thank you.

To bring this back to Tim Tingle... did each person on child_lit buy his book yet? I hope so! And I hope you do some library programming on it, and that you put a big photo of him alongside it, and that you use present tense verbs when introducing the book and Tim's work in general. A photo of Tim in his ball cap... Now THAT counters the Indian-in-headdress image! His twitter pic (yes, Tim is on Twitter _at_tim_tingle) has him in his ball cap AND a tux. How cool is that? Looking at his twitter page, there's one of him talking to N. Scott Momaday.
