BPB2010 Geographical Fun Facts...from JERI


 

 

Hello, Happy Readers!

Here are some facts about your fellow fans...at least, where they live.

We have readers in 47 states, plus Puerto Rico and DC.

The states with no readers: Idaho, Wyoming and Mississippi.  We are not surprised about the first two, but HEY!  MISSISSIPPI! Get your orders in!  We miss you!  (and you westerners, feel free to order too!)

UPDATE: Woo, hoo...Mississippi came through. Idaho and Wyoming are still slackers though.

The state that most outperformed our expectations:  New York.

The state that sold the most books: California, of course!

The state that sold the 3rd most books: Illinois.

Oklahoma exactly doubled the number of orders over last year.

Iowa went down a little...(bummer, John's home state!)

We sold books in 8 countries other than the US, one more than last year.

There were more orders via snail mail than there have been in about 5 years. 

The bottom line is, we value all our readers, and are grateful for each and every one of you, no matter where you live.

If you want to order the book, click HERE!

Seems like there’s a joke here about literacy in Mississippi waiting to be told…

BC Awaits the book!

On Vancouver Island here, hoping to see the book before the end of the week (we have a draft on Saturday). It’ll be tough though… Canada Customs likes to reas it cover-to-cover before releasing it :)

Sorry if I skewed the numbers a bit

I was an order in Iowa last year, and an order in Wisconsin this year.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

mine arrived yesterday

and I’ve had a tough time putting it down, much to my wife’s chagrin. A really great read, and super-informative. As a long time follower, first time book orderer, I’m super happy that I made the jump to the book this year. It’s well worth it!

OK, Mississippi is off limits, but...

…. can we make jokes about the alleged literacy “skills” of those little Husky grads?

I’m trying to do my part for Iowa, great book this year and thanks for the all the hard work you guys put into it!

…and btw, the J-hawks still own Aurora Avenue! UHS ’87

I've ordered the book from Idaho before

But now living 20 miles away from Idaho I no longer order from there
