I bet Taylor never dreamed he'd have a couple of #1 spots on Amazon
with a book when this journey started! Thanks for bringing this over
Mary!

Anyone know what the total sales numbers for the book are? Maybe I can find that on another site if I do a little digging...

Deb: From what I've read, total book sales are not public information, as opposed to music sales. And I have no idea why they are different. I agree it would be interesting to know.

Taylor Hicks - "Heart Full of Soul - An Inspirational Memoir About Finding Your Voice and Finding Your Way"

According to EBook Publishing, Taylor's 2007 Random House autobiography is a hot seller! Now isn't that interesting! Could be that all the positive publicity regarding his Broadway debut in *Grease* is peaking people's interest in him and possibly seeking out his book. If you haven't gotten yours, you should pick one up! It's a great read and lends all kinds of insight in Taylor's journey from unknown bar-singer to international superstar. Available at any of the big name bookstores or order it here from amazon.com.
