As regular readers will know, WHSmiths has been doing a lot of promotion for the paperback edition of my Simon Cowell biography. It’s all translating into very healthy sales. The book is currently number two in their paperback non-fiction chart. It’s behind Richard Dawkins. I’ve never been a fan of Dawkins so it would be nice to knock him off the top spot.

Overall, my book had a 346% week-on-week sales surge last week and is now second in the industry’s national ‘accelerator’ chart. Thanks very much to everyone who has bought it. If you are thinking of doing so, please feel free to do it via WH Smiths so I can zoom in on top spot!

    Wow Chas! Kol hakavod.

  2. Duvid Crockett, King of DeLancey Street says:

    Duvidl is profoundly irritated by Dawkins. He has only read “The Selfish Gene” which he picked up for 30p from the cardboard box outside a local Jewish charity shop. He didn’t quite manage to finish it before returning it to the cardboard box un-announced.

    Kol Ha Kavod as well.

    Thanks to both of you.

    I have a lovely crosspost from an Israeli going up tomorrow by the way.

    Dawkins is a great science writer but a lousy documentary-maker.
