Maybe you should write a book on the connection between the two.

We know where the book will end up, of course.

but if you can get Oprah to recommend it it will be no.1 in two days.

Unfortunately, it seems that JungleScan will only track items that have been manually added to their list. I added a couple K's Choice albums for the hell of it :)

And to be fair, most of them seem to be out of print and unavailable, which can't help their sales.

I don't quite see how this site came up with the "worst" sellers. Amazon now lists every book from every publishers' catalogues, so I'd assume there'd be tens of thousands of titles that Amazon has never sold a single copy of.

Yes, but technically those titles are "No Sellers" not "Worst Sellers." ;)

Items do not receive an Amazon Rank unless they have sold at least one copy. More on how the Amazon Sales Ranking works here (http://www.fonerbooks.com/surfing.htm).

That means that someone actually purchased "Cream of Wheat Advertising Art"? The 'author' of that stunning tome must have a sympathestic family.

***** Great Pix of Cream of Wheat, March 21, 2002
Reviewer: jack_buckley (see more about me) from Port Jefferson, NY United States
As a mystery novelist with my first novel in print, I have to read widely for new ideas. This wonderful volume has given me my next mystery plot: Cream of Wheat! That's all I've come up with, but I guarantee it'll be better than The Wonderland Murders.Sounds like another book destined for this list.

Thanks zakur, I never knew the Amazon ranking process was so complicated.

I'm on it:

Baked brachiopods Casino
2 c Fine soft breadcrumbs
2 ts Paprika
2 tb Olive oil
1 Clove garlic, very finely chopped
3 Dozen brachiopods, on the half shell
9 sl Raw bacon
1 Lemon, cut into wedges

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Toss together bread crumbs, paprika, olive oil and garlic. Place brachiopods in a flat baking dish. Mount some of the bread crumb mixture on each brachiopod. Cut bacon slices into quarters and place a piece on each brachiopod. Bake 25 minutes, or until bacon is crisp. If desired, the brachiopods may be served on a bed of heated rock salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

Yumbo, and extinct too. That is better than endangered:D
