The first week of every month, the Milwaukee-based 800-CEO-Read releases their “Top 25” bestseller list for the previous month. Well, 8CR (as we’ve learned they’re called in the trade, making us feel very inside-baseball) just released their “Top 25” for January, and The Go-Giver is on the list.

Actually, it’s not just on the list: it’s in the #1 spot on the list.

8CR is the nation’s largest reseller of books to the corporate marketplace, and they’re the people to call if you should want to buy the book in quantity at a discount: call 800-236-7323, extension 204, and speak to Aaron, our 8CR rep.

Meanwhile, emails and blog posts are continuing to pour in, which has made checking email a rather emotional experience these days. Here’s one of my favorites from the last few days, posted by Kevin Knebl of Colorado Springs:

“This book is getting a lot of press right now and deservedly so. It’s a short tale in the mold of some of the great books from Og Mandino. I read this book on the plane trip to and from Baltimore and loved it.

“Don’t be fooled by their seemingly simple story. The truths that Burg and Mann weave through their story have the power to change your life if you’re ready to accept and live them. Their Five Laws of Stratospheric Success have a brilliant way of showing us that a glorious irony of creation is that it tucks its greatest truths carefully inside of paradoxes. We don’t ever break the laws of human relations; we only break ourselves against them by trying to violate them. Must read!”

—and this, from my “from the old days” Brookline buddy David Snieckus:

“Never thought a book about business would be a tear jerker. I’m writing as I just finished wiping my tears after pages 89–94. . .”

Even macrobiotic men aren’t afraid to cry!
