Ooooo...going to lecture me about my local geography? :-)
Well, you didn't seem to know about how how things worked.
Try Interstate FIVE as an illustration...begins at the Canadian border
goes all the way south through Washington, Oregon, California, ends
at the Mexican border. Over a kilomile long, takes two days to drive
at lawful speeds. Been there, done that, many times.
The point was about a part of the Interstate highway system which never
leaves a particular state.
Gee, if I wanted a LECTURE on highways, I'd go to the AAA website
of my local auto club office...they give out free maps to us members.
You don't want to get one; you want to give one.
Go for it! "TECHNICAL" best seller! What year? And who was the
compiler of that gem of information? [was it a bookstore in Newington?]
You might try the ABA or some other book industry associations first
to verify some nonsense claim. Or take off your blinders. Whichever
is easiest.
Do you have any information to the contrary, Leonard, or are you just
blowing smoke?
I've only been USING technical books since 1960 and my first job
assignment as an electronics engineer responsible for new design.
To quote you, "Why must you always live in the past"?
The Green Bible, the Blue Bible, Millman & Taub, Henney, Petersen
and Weldon, Floyd Gardner, lots of names which are very familiar
in my small 30+ foot total length personal bookshelf right above the
immediate computer desk here. Since I already write for money
and know several authors (who work at that full time) plus book
store owners-managers, I have some acquaintenceship with the
professional book associations. Now, if you wish to LECTURE me
on "best sellers" of anything, I will invite you to pass gas on a
shuttle flight ("go take a flying fart") between islands.
So because you have a shelf full of books and since you've written for
money, Jeffrey's claim can't possibly be true. Does that sum it up?
I am happy to hear that you have a personal bookshelf though.
