You can thank me in the time-honoured way.

I'm intrigued. The only real name in the book is mine.

I appear to have fallen at the first hurdle. I logged in (to the UK site) and it told me that The title wasn't available in my country. Very confused. I did 'like' it for you though.

Wow, we've broken 20 sales. At this rate I'll be able to retire in 43 years.

Seriously, thanks peeps.
