I don't understand the mathematical behavior of this.  Unless the
point of a radical price drop is to temporarily catapult a book to the
#1 spot.  Then do you get to claim "#1 Bestseller!" on your cover or
something?  "#1 Bestseller for 24 hours!"

Wasn't planning to buy it.  I don't need no steenkin' books to learn
Lisp.  I just wanted to know what could possibly be more popular than
Harry Potter.
