[LIST] Sales figures for wrestling books at Amazon.com

It's been over five months since I've posted the list of Amazon's
sales ranking for the various wrestling-related books, so I thought
I'd waste some time compiling the information.

Let me know if I missed any major titles.

When I did the last list (5/22/2003) "Have a Nice Day" was on top at
#99.  Meltzer's "Tributes" fell from #38,342 to last place.

Two copies of "The Rock Says" ares on sale for $0.01 at Amazon.
