Technology in American Drama News

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).

  • 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!
