The review thing is interesting. Two days ago, I had 26 reviews; today, 24. I can't really figure out which ones were removed.

ah ha. You'll have to copy paste each day and then review...this would make for a good research work. We know Barnes and Noble are totally liberal - hoping Amazon isn't.

Maybe they remove really bad ones for the sake of sales.

Be interesting to know which reason - sales or politics?

Matt's book is up to #60,000 now. That's a pretty good leap. Mark's is up 2000. I think there is something to this. Obviously, the further up the rankings you are, the more "hits" it takes to move it further up, so I don't expect to see as much movement with my book.

Thanks. Well, here's what I found out: my book moved a little (10 spots), and Matt's book moved quite a bit (10,000 spots) but Mark's book actually dropped.

After I passed this info along to my agent, he said it didn't make sense---Marks' book (the lowest one) should have moved the most with just a couple of hits.

He also said once he had a guy try to "jimmy" his Amazon rating by having 1700 people on his newsletter list buy the book, and he reimbursed them. He got #2, but it cost him more than he made :)
