3.    1.4 million copies    wow!!!!

5.   "The Devil's Right Hand" by Steve Earle    (maybe there is a message somewhere there)

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

I remember reading that this song actually came out in 1988, making its appearance in the film anachronistic. That itself could be a trivia question for a future edition!

I've wondered about that, but I don't really follow Steve Earle/don't know how long he's been around--and I admit I haven't done any research to try to find out if the song was "period" or not. I like it, though--the song, I mean.  :)

I tend to think of Brokies as a closed community, and when I saw who wrote it I wondered if I "knew" him.

Is there any mention of Jack having a middle name?  Just curious.

1.4 million x 20USD is pretty good for a first day sale. 

I'd like a trivia question why BBM deluxe DVD didn't have directory's commentary and deleted scenes when the another Ang Lee film, Sense and Sensibility did.  :(

Of course he did.  It was used by Ennis several times.

My copy arrived finally...and the type is really big...and it's quite a slim book! Who is this Joshua Michaelmas anyway?

Methinks we need a trivia contest for BetterMost's first anniversary...

I think he is someone who wrote a very poor book, and probably made a lot of money out of it.
