Methodology:

Click on the link provided by Mr. Celko. Scroll down to the "product details" section. Read the sales rank there (note that it's changed since then.) --> "Amazon.com sales rank: 16,754"
subtract one :-)
--> 16,753
Go to www.google.com
search exactly as follows:

   site:amazon.com "sales rank: 16753"
Click on the link

Often when a site doesn't provide some bit of info directly, there's a way to get to it with judicious use of google features.

For example, if you want to know if a given 32 bit number is prime, often times the fastest way to decide is to google for it. If it's prime, it'll be on some indexed page of prime numbers somewhere.
