I thought so too! The book has had really a lot of fine reviews, most of them since the turn of the year and, at least in the US, exclusively by people who bought their own copies. The review list in the UK produced several reviews, again pleasingly excellent, from the likes of the Beeb. But it was always envisaged that the US was the most important market, because this is the country currently most at threat (at least in the West) from the ideological/political corruption of science, and to see it simply piffled away was . . . galling.
