My first scholarly monograph, The Age of Elizabeth in the
Age of Johnson, has rocketed to the 1.6 millionth bestseller (up from
1.8 millionth a few weeks ago) on Amazon.com.

pitiful number 1.596 million.) A big movie deal now seems inevitable. Buy it now
and you can say you knew me before I was rich and famous. —Jack Lynch
