Given the events of the past few days, I emailed an old friend to ask if he’d like a free plug for his excellent book. What?? and crash my server again??

You can order directly from Amazon via the Taken By Storm website, but it’s best if people go into a bookstore and ask to have it ordered in. It increases the chance they’ll decide to stock it.
Another recommendation: this soon-to-be-published gem is an “extraordinarily powerful and detailed history of the hockey stick scandal”.
