Someone in Vietnam bought Zog

I have to blog about watching the Book Depository live because it's the only thing that will stop me watching.

The Book Depository is an online book store. You probably know this. BUT... it has a page showing where its books are being bought in real time on a world map. It's here: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/live.

It's a peculiar kind of boasting, or customer research, or I don't know what. The thing is, it's fascinating to see which nations buy what. The Brits seem to like self-help books and the Northern Europeans culture and poetry. Someone in Singapore bought Manga, and then someone in the Netherlands: 'Goats for Dummies'. Brilliant.
