I just saw that too, independent of this thread. Nice to see another review with a unique take on things. I understand there might be a few things going in the cycling print press, but living as I do as a concrete recluse in a virtual world means I'll probably remain oblivious.
Don't know sales exactly. My pre-Amazon paperback batch of 150 are all but gone. From what I know about ebook sales and can guess about paperback sales, it's probably not in danger of getting into quadruple figures for a while yet, not unless somebody 'infuential' in the more populist sense starts waving it around. I'm happy to leave it as a slow-burner, and hope anyone else who stumbles across it finds some pleasure within.
For now, I'm doing research for a novel which is more than a little brain-melting - sort of conceptual/thematic rather than factual/historic (the research, I mean). It's not going to be a cycling book I'm afraid, but there will be a bicycle in it; if I ever write the fucking thing. I'm going to try anyway...
