And the word of the day is: GUFFAW!

Good morning, all!

I slept well. Annabelle decided that she wanted to sleep with Thatch and me, so we had a full bed last night.

BK, that computer is a beauty! I think my monitor is 21 inches, and that's plenty for me. Much as I like mine, which was new two years ago, its lack of USB portals leaves my computer table a tangle of hubs, hard drives, and too much wire cluttering up the space around the mouse pad.

I got an email that my Amazon mini-review of RICHARD AND ME is online.

DR singdaw, thank for the link to The Choral preview. I looked it up on IMDB, and the cast is impressive. The preview is charming and funny, but 1916 was not a good year for the Brits in the war (to end all wars and decimate the British male population), and I suspect the film is going to be a tearjerker as more young men are sent off to Europe to die. Oh, what a lovely war!

And good morning, DR ChasSmith!

I have things to cart to the basement. After that, a bit of housework.

Day Two of looking like something that should only be going out in public when wearing a bag over my head.

When I got home yesterday I took extra strength Tylenol, and a little later a couple of aspirin as a chaser, and by the time those had worn off, I was no longer feeling the heat. I watched a little bit of this and a little bit of that and kept dozing off like I hadn't slept in a week. Other than that, I felt fine, but I must make sure to have all the mirrors in the house removed.

My copy of A&T arrived late yesterday afternoon, so I've finally got a look at the finished copy. We lost one illustration, and I miss it, so I'll display it here. I was hoping it would be the title page whe you opened the book.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 08, 2025, 04:53:07 AM »

While I was writing the last post, my phone rang. It was my publisher telling me that A&T is currently the Number #1 bestselling NEW hardbound in Contemporary Literature & Fiction.

I checked Amazon.co.uk, and we have invaded the UK.

Computer looks great, and I really like the Mac Mini setup.

DR Elmore mentioned USB ports. I think Apple has remained more reasonable with the Minis than with the other systems, as far as continuing to provide a decent number of ports in general. One of the reasons many musicians like to keep the older laptops going is because of the lack of ports on some of the models that came along after mine. You can so easily get into an adaptor-and-hub nightmare, which is likely what DR Elmore is describing.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #14 on:** August 08, 2025, 04:58:46 AM »

DR Elmore - Do you mean that page isn't in the paper copies? It's in my Kindle edition, between the front cover and the text-only title page.

Excellent news!

It's also in the Top 100 in the area of "Performing Arts (Books)"

John G wrote last night: "I learned my book will be released Sept. 5."

Good to know. Not that there's a lot of audience overlap, but to stay out of the way here, I'll time pushing and shilling and hawking for my new book to have that over well before Labor Day.

I'm running into a similar issue as others with how Amazon is defining the age range for my book. I had filled out that it's suitable for anyone age 5 and up, and I thought it would clearly mean that it's suitable for all ages - but Amazon is insisting that it's for age 5 to 18!

Yes, it's in my Kindle edition too.

Millstone alert for Elmore. Could even be today or tomorrow!

elmore3003 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2025, 05:10:36 AM »

DR John G, thanks for the Love Life link. I ordered it and the John Wilson recording of My Fair Lady.

Good morning, friends.

singdaw · « **Reply #22 on:** August 08, 2025, 05:11:02 AM »

And others.

I also found that illustration at the beginning of my Kindle edition of DR elmore3003's book.

singdaw · « **Reply #24 on:** August 08, 2025, 05:12:09 AM »

My hard copy arrives today.

I sure didn't see it in the hardcover. It was on the back cover of the galleys, but it's been replaced by blurbs in the new paper edition. I'll see if its in the paper edition when it arrives tomorrow.

singdaw · « **Reply #26 on:** August 08, 2025, 05:12:51 AM »

Wow, DR John G. September 5! That is some quick turnaround. It seems like yesterday that you were just starting your research.

singdaw · « **Reply #27 on:** August 08, 2025, 05:13:20 AM »

I wonder if any of the places you wrote about are no longer after the flooding.

Freddie · « **Reply #28 on:** August 08, 2025, 05:18:54 AM »

BK, does writing just two or so sentences for an Amazon review count as much as a longer, more detailed review for the Amazon algorithm?

And does the Amazon algorithm count a "Verified" purchase more than not Verified?
