What's this about?

The sales rank position given by Amazon.co.uk.

Six TA books are in the top 10,000 books sold in the UK. This seems pretty good going for a niche area. Clearly Transactional Analysis is pretty healthy in the UK.

The sales rankings were taken on 08 November, 2005.

These figures do not account for used book sales sold through Amazon.co.uk, nor obviously new and used books sold by other sellers. The sales ranks on Amazon are dynamic, so the picture here is just a snap-shot.
