Tell me about it! But not usually when they are #33 on Amazon and have received rapturous reviews.

The Amazon sales are likely the Dr. Seuss effect & the reviews are the type of literary logrolling that's part of the problem.

I've been following his amazon numbers for the last few weeks -- it's always been in the top few hundreds. Are you arguing that no one wants to read this book and so it's okay to take it out of print?

No, I'm saying it being #33 (as opposed to say #200) is likely a byproduct of the publisher taking it out of print.
