What Other People Have Bought
I like keeping track of how my book is doing. I was looking at listings for the book on both Amazon.com and bn.com today and noticed an odd discrepancy between the two sites in terms of what customers who purchsed my book have also bought.
From Amazon:
- The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick
- The Dorama Encyclopedia : A Guide to Japanese TV Drama Since 1953 by Jonathan Clements, Motoko Tamamuro
- The Anime Companion: What's Japanese in Japanese Animation by Gilles Poitras
- The Yakuza Movie Book : A Guide to Japanese Gangster Films by Mark Schilling
- Anime Explosion! The What? Why? & Wow! of Japanese Animation by Patrick Drazen
Okay, that list makes sense -- anime, classic science fiction, and Japanese film and television. However, I'm still trying to puzzle through this list from Barnes and Noble:
- The Metrosexual Guide to Style: A Handbook for the Modern Man by Michael Flocker
- Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market by Eric Schlosser
- The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less by Barry Schwartz
- My Point...and I Do Have One by Ellen DeGeneres, Susan Rose (Illustrator)
- 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know by Russ Kick
Um. Okay. Sure, why not? Not that there's anything wrong with those books, but I'm just trying to see the thematic relation here.

I think your demographic has been taken over by metrosexual hipster comedy fans. What that means, I have no idea.
