As a 20 year old college student, your book has given me more information than anyone I know could have ever possibly given me. You've inspired me to research and really UNDERSTAND finances and personal management. Thank you for your book, even if not a best seller, I have used to many times to reference bank accounts, have signed up for a credit union, and even visited the section on renting an apartment, questions to ask etc. Thank you thank you thank you.

I think you have a potential #1 best seller here. #1 on the NYT bestseller list is currently The Happiness Project, which, after having read your blog for many years, I know is really what it's all about for you. We create our own realities, you know that after your struggle to get out of debt. Start counting on success with this book and talking about how well you're going to do, make it a reality! JD,

Consider collecting all the of "links" in the book into an on-line appendix or page/link list or something where people can click on them. You could then direct readers to that appendix/page in the introduction. Having to type in a link from a printed book ranks up there with the most annoying things in life, IMO. Congrats!

LOL You don't need to be Suze Orman to be a bestselling personal finance expert. Just look at Ramit at iwillteachyoutoberich. His book hit #1 on the bestselling list on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles on launching. If he can do it, so can you! You pretty much have the same viewership blog (you actually have more subscribers and hits) so that definitely shouldn't be a problem. Setting a goal of Top 5000 is a cinch!

I hope it sells "big time"! You should also have someone read it (proof) it who wasn't involved in writing it. Sometimes the author will read right over a mistake because you know what is was supposed to say. Looks good. I hope it sells “big time”!

The biggest thing is having them notice their finance problems. If they do not confront it, they may never change their habits. I pre-ordered this on Amazon.
