    Thanks, folks — as a result of the reviews you’ve added, Born for Adversity has jumped to #4 on Amazon’s list of Space:1999 books.

    To show my ignorance… how do you pull up such a list for a given series of books?

    Just search for “Space: 1999” in books.

    I apologize for not being clear. I meant to ask how does one pull up a rank list for a given topic of books.

    Once the results are up, sort according to “Bestselling” from the drop-down menu on the right.

    As of 8:50 AM EDT it’s now #1.

    Just as described — if you enter Space 1999 as a search term, in the books area, the search results are ranked — meaning Amazon has internal mechanisms that will govern how close to the top of the returned list a book title will appear based on reviews, sales, etc. So just to be clear, a month ago, if you searched for Space:1999 in books, Born for Adversity was around 33 (you’d have to scroll passed 32 other book titles before you saw it). Now, with the reviews, it’s showing up as the third book.

    Huh. I’ve never noticed that function before. Amazon’s search engine must have some interesting parameters. There’s a Playboy listed at #15 (an edition from 1999, but of course), and, not to be overlooked, the ever-popular ‘The Global Theory of Minimal Surfaces in Flat Spaces’ at #33.

    BfA now ranks number one. 🙂
