Doing my part for the Amazon google bomb...
Amazon Rank
FYI, for people who haven't seen this all over everywhere by now, Amazon has delisted the sales rankings for books it deems "adult"--targeting GLBT books of every stripe, including YA novels, children's books, self-help books, literary fiction, as well as romance and erotica. This removes these books from lists of bestsellers and also from certain searches. It, in effect, hides them.

Personally, I won't be buying anything from Amazon until this ridiculous policy is rescinded.
ETA: GOOGLE BOMB SUCCESS!
