In answer to those of you that have asked: Please wait until “Book Bomb” Day — September 30th — to place your order for my forthcoming nonfiction book, “How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It: Tactics, Techniques, and Technologies for Uncertain Times”. Dealers won’t be able to ship it until then, anyway. With the Book Bomb event, I hope to drive the book’s sales rank into Amazon’s Top 100, overall. Because of the strength of the pre-orders (even though I’ve asked people to delay ordering!) Penguin Books has increased the size of the first press run order to 20,000 copies. Even the though the book is still more than a week from release, its Amazon Sales Rank is already below #400, overall, out of four million cataloged titles.
