    David, Matt,

    ZMM does turn up as a "perennial" best seller on many different lists,
    so I guess we shouldn't be too surprised. (I hear it still regularly
    sells 100,000 copies a year.)

    As to why Canada, why now - apart from there being a detectable level
    of academic interest in the subject matter - there may have been
    stimulation for the book itself after Mark Richardson of the Toronto
    Star wrote about ZMM in a couple of his articles last year, when he
    did his own ZMM trip, and this year again as his own book is nearing
    publication. Just guessing.

    Ian
