More Harry Potter

I don't know why, but I could not resist one more post about the Harry Potter book as found on Publishers Lunch:

"Big Surprise: Record HP Pre-Orders at AmazonAmazon announced sales so far of over 1 million copies in the US, and over 1.6 million copies worldwide, ahead of the "record" 1.5 million pre-orders for the sixth Harry Potter.Adding to their promotional losses, Amazon is now giving "a $5 Amazon.com promotional certificate to use on a future purchase in the month of August" to anyone in the US who pre-orders. They say they have "saved customers more than $23 million on purchases of the book."
