After being on sale for just four days, QF32 was ranked #1 in the Top Ten non fiction books at the Watermark Bookshop at Melbourne Airport today.

The stock of QF32 had quickly sold out in many stores since it’s debut last Wednesday.   The first reprint was ordered on Monday, five days after the launch.

In an extraordinary coincidence Richard’s cousin Robin de Crespigny has also released a best seller “The People Smuggler” that has also been a #1 best seller at this book store.   “The People Smuggler”  is the true Story of Ali Al Jenabi, the “Oskar Schindler of Asia”, an utterly gripping portrait of a man cut loose from the protections of civilisation, attempting to retain his dignity and humanity, while picking a path out of an impossible position.

What would you guess the chance of two “R de Crespigny”s authoring and releasing two books that subsequently rank in the top ten at the same time?

Coral is soooo proud.

Thank you for supporting both books!
