I figured you did your part by writing the book, so I'm doing my part to help put you there. I've bought a copy for every classroom in the high school where I teach, and a half dozen copies for my own classroom. A few students have read the e-text online, and another half dozen have purchased the book so far too impatient to wait for the copies I purchased to become available.
I cleaned out one of the local bookstores all by myself. So far the reaction has been amazing; students tend to rank you just above or below Harry Potter - depending on which conversations I overhear. Although this definitely hasn't helped my reputation as a "liberal," I'd say that by the time we reach summer vacation there will only be ten kids in the entire school who won't have read it. Honestly. And while this might be a headache for the school IT administrator, it's a good thing or america.
