Not enough copies to push the English name up (plus a CT bleeding from the Swedish site I suspect) - I set the CT so the touchstone should be working in a bit. Happens quite a lot when a book is a translation and until it is more popular in a different language

@66, glad to hear you got "Yoga for a Beautiful Face".

I'm scheduled to get it and really got my hopes up when I went out to my mailbox after reading of its arrival somewhere. Still hoping, but my copy is taking a tad longer to southern California. While I don't quite believe the title, I believe it could potentially be beneficial, if I can just find a program that doesn't take so long I'm bored senseless and quit..probably the only reason I'm not a knockout already ...insert deadpan expression here. ;-)

GwenH --No, don't do any deadpan expressions--they create wrinkles. :-) I'm liking this book. I'm going to give it a good college try.
