The Ivory Tower and Harry Potter

[Jim Ferer <jferer@jferer.yahoo.invalid>]

Many of you will have by now seen Penny Linsenmayer's excellent review
and precis of _The Ivory Tower and Harry Potter_.  Here's one way to
get it:

Amazon.com sells it for $34.95 with free shipping. Find it on

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0826214436/qid=1041379079/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-8051121-8098509?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

As of 19:10 EST  New Year's Eve there were only three copies left,
more on the way!

In the "customers also bought" section of the Amazon listing was a
surprising (at least to me) number of titles of Harry Potter criticism
and discussion, including:

* Harry Potter's World: Multidisciplinary Critical Perspectives by
Elizabeth E. Heilman (Editor) (Hardcover)
* A Charmed Life: The Spirituality of Potterworld by Francis Bridger
(Paperback)
* The Sorcerer's Companion: A Guide to the Magical World of Harry
Potter by Allan Zola Kronzek, Elizabeth Kronzek (Paperback)
* The Gospel According to Harry Potter: Spirituality in the Stories of
the World's Most Famous Seeker by Connie Neal (Paperback)
* The Hidden Key to Harry Potter: Understanding the Meaning, Genius,
and Popularity of Joanne Rowling's Harry Potter Novels by John Granger
(Paperback)

The book by John Granger sounds like an inside job to me ;)
