"In only a matter of weeks you've taken our Quietus from modest obscurity to the top of the independent bestseller's lists! Sales demand for this book has increased fivefold and awareness has reached immeasurable levels. Suddenly, our author is in demand for radio and T.V. talk shows, internet chats, newspaper and magazine feature stories. Major national reviewers that previously 'passed' on covering the book have come back with glowing '. . . we almost missed this gem . . .' sort of reviews. Quietus was just added to Booksense 76, was just picked-up by a major mail-order bookclub, and just received a substantial contract for reprint rights from one of the major houses. Coincidence? Perhaps, but I think it's more a result of the hard work and successful placements that FSB generated for the book! Your team, including your internet family and media outlets cumulatively form the 'collective consciousness' that was needed to make lots of noise for Quietus! Thanks again for your wonderful results."
