#6 in Nonfiction/General for the week from 2.5-2.8. (click on the Nonfiction/General tab from this page)

Way to go team!

This is not the NYT bestseller we've been gunning for. Haven't heard yet on that one, but it's a start! Since Tom focuses a lot of his attention on DC, getting this was especially gratifying. PNM hit the WAPO bestseller list for one week in late December 2004.
