BFA makes Foreign Affairs bestseller list (January 2006) for third month in a row

This makes three for three, which feels pretty good. Drops from 4th to 8th, and the four books that moved up all got extensive end-of-year notice, so I held my own given the relatively low PR month the book had.

Me? I will take it with gratitude and try to make January a high-profile month.
