(Ted had not told us which one they were leaning towards)
Needless to say it blew the minds of the publishers he had this kind of followers and was able to tap into their opinions with in a matter of SECONDS of its posting on FB.
It thrilled us fans as we felt we were apart of the process. Even though I have that book on my Kindle, I will still buy the MM. as it is sentimental to me now and I'll be darned that the publisher,author, stores didn't get a bit of coin twice from my pocket book for the same book!!

that is a great web anecdote, and a true indicator of the power of the new medium.
