"We couldn't print them fast enough," said Susan Fensten, a publicist for Oxford University Press.

One of the authors, Ronald W. Walker, said he was pleased and delighted how well the book has been selling. He speculated that the popularity of the book has to do with the approach he and his co-authors, Richard E. Turley and Glen M.
