That's More Like It

Checking in to see whether the Amazon page for How to Teach Physics to Your Dog has been updated (it had an older version of the cover copy yesterday morning, but that's been fixed), I see that the "Buy Together" box has been updated. It now says:

Customers buy this book with The God Engines by John Scalzi

That's much better than what we had yesterday. Thank you, Amazon, for some higher-quality recommendations.
