Technology in American Drama NewsE-Mail)
I recently received this announcement from my publisher: “I’m pleased to let you know that your book, Technology in American Drama, 1920-1950, has been named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title.”
A little googling reveals that this award is given to about 3% of the 20,000 or so academic works submitted each year to Choice (a library selection journal).
In a related development, my Amazon.com ranking for this book has now rocketed to 1,679,643 — I’m rapidly gaining on
Distributional ecology and abundance of dung and carrion-feeding beetles (Scarabaeidae) in tropical rain forests in Sarawak, Borneo (1,652,252).

Oh boy… according to Amazon, my rank has shot up to 1,433,486.
Congratulations on the award!!! (Amazon.com rankings are freakishly meaningless and impossible to interpret… don’t judge your book by that — I’m sure it’s a very meaningful work for students of American drama!)
What was the author of that book thinking, I mean really, putting dung in the title without a colon! But seriously, congratulations on the award!
