An e-mail from THK

Dear xxxxx,

Yesterday morning when our new book This Moment On Earth went on sale in bookstores nationwide, it was ranked 3,398th on Amazon.Com.

No wonder the skeptics thought they were winning -- one reporter even thought she had a fair point when she asked John whether Americans really cared about the environment.

Well, it's only one day later http://www.johnkerry.com/momentonearth/-- and the book is now ranked #139 on Amazon.Com!

This huge first day of sales shows that Americans really care about the environment.

Please, come check it out -- write a review -- share your thoughts about environmental heroes you know -- and spread the word to your friends and neighbors.

"John Kerry and Teresa Heinz have written a book that is a profound challenge to all of us but contains, in the examples of the men and women who are fighting the great fight for a better future for our environment, the clear hope that if we can embrace their resourcefulness, determination and essential patriotism we will prevail."

-- Former Vice President Al Gore


The book grew out of conversations that John and I had with Americans from coast to coast about the environment and the critical challenges we all face in protecting the earth for future generations.

The stories inspired and moved us. John and I share the hope that they will lead all of us to question the way things are and look for small but significant ways that each of us can make a positive contribution to this new environmental movement. We hope they spark a new conversation about ways that everyday Americans from all walks of life can have an impact on the environment around them.

And, since all of the proceeds of the book go to environmental causes, we hope the book makes a financial difference for some great environmental organizations, as well.

Come check it out -- write a review -- and let your friends know.

Sincerely,

Teresa Heinz Kerry

5. Wow!!!
I'm really surprised as it has not even been reviewed in the big papers. That is really good.

6. I think TDS may have helped with sales, too.
Of all the talk shows we tend to watch, my husband and I are most likely to buy a book talked about on TDS. (Probably because we are their target demographic:))

The appearance last nice was really smart and perfectly timed. I'm glad it went so well.
