Gene Shalit picked one of our books for the gift-book segment. And he didn't just pick it--he loved it. We're near the end, but it's worth the wait. See the whole shebang here.

New York Times Bestseller List
My last company had lots of NYT's bestsellers. They'd post them in the elevator.
Not so much here--that's not our bread and butter. But we did it. This amazing (albeit $30, non-fiction, hardcover reference) book for teens hit the list for the weeks of 12/31 and 1/7. I shrieked and screamed all the way up 6th Ave. when I got the news. This was a win for a great book--and some stellar PR (if I say so my self).
Entertainment Weekly, September 2006
This is the review that started the magic.

Wired, December 2006
This was a great "get"--only two books were featured and both were ours.
Wall Street Journal, December 2006
Pick Me Up was recommended in this round-up of books for kids. We saw a sales spike, even from such a slight mention.
Publishers Weekly, November 2006
Bottom right--a sweet mention in a competitve category.
Newsweek, November 2006
My book is the only on the page--and it's the editor's pick. This led to a significant spike in sales, particularly in the online channels. It's one of my favorite hits.
Knit.1, Winter Issue 2006/7
A bland review of a novel book about knitting for men.
InStyle, December 2006
There's only one book on the page--and it's mine. In fact, only 2 books made it into the entire gift guide.
O Magazine, December 2006
This placement (top book) took over 4 months. And I had to answer many fact-checking questions about the sex lives of mushrooms.
