With just over two weeks since the release of NHJ, we're starting to get a pretty accurate view of the reaction it's been creating around Australia. Penguin Marketing Director, Daniel Ruffino, emailed me this afternoon telling me that after originally printing 10K (nearly all sold), then 3K more, now 6K in the last days, that's 19K total. We're understandably rapt and entry onto many number of top-ten charts will only help the message get even further. Word of mouth is key for NHJ so thanks for all your help in reading, writing and thinking about the aims of the book. As ever, this is a book for people to connect, work together and bring positive change to our democratic system.

So what else has been happening? Where to begin, really. After mentioning Bookcrossing yesterday (the idea of buying and reading a book, posting a comment online, leaving the book somewhere, and waiting for the next person to comment and so on), we've already got our first. Who knows where the book may go next. Howard's private residence? Latham's office? Or maybe just the local RSL.

Margo is now back in Sydney after weeks of going up and down the East Coast talking and discussing NHJ. To those overseas or elsewhere in Australia, we hope this website will be a good place to get your discussions going. MK will be doing more media in the coming days, so stay tuned.

She even found time to write a piece just before the release of the book in one of her favourite publications, The Northern Rivers Echo. It's on the Howard Government's unhealthy love affair with the fossil fuels industry.

And in news just in, NHJ has already been added to a reading list at ANU. Under the 'Popular Non-Fiction' banner, alongside Alain de Botton's Status Anxiety, NHJ's message will soon be branded across our nation's capitol.

On the international front, renegade Mike Moore, in New York today promoting his new record-busting documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11 was sounding like he'd been reading NHJ. Talking about the Iraq war and our Dear Leader, Moore said, ''He at least appears to have half a brain ... It's really disgraceful.' Furthermore, he's advocating regime change right here: 'I hope that Australians that see this film will say to themselves 'We need some regime change here in our country''.
