[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 638064, member: 17969"] BABAGANOUSH, so far, the books have been purchased by large right wing think tanks and right wing groups. FOX news has a commercial running for a right wing RAG that will sell the book for $4.97.... if you take one of thier subscriptions. Thats close to 25 bucks off the retail price...hardly worth the money if they can discount it by that much, or they purchased so many copies at wholesale for $5.00 each, that they could give them away at that price. In a matter of weeks, you will see the book at the major discounters for over 50% off suggested retail. It happens to all political books on both sides, operatives purchase thousands of copies to make the book get to the best seller lists... Dont read too much into the total sales BABA, they are all manufactured. At the TEA PARTIES, FOX news purchased thousands of Glen Becks new book only to hand them out at rallys... Yes, it counts as a "sale" but not a retail sale, yet they can get the credit for being a best seller even if the retail numbers dont actually make it a best seller. WIKI: A [B]bestseller[/B] is a book that is identified as extremely popular by its inclusion on lists of currently top selling titles that are [B]based on publishing industry and book trade figures[/B] and published by newspapers, magazines, or bookstore chains. Some lists are broken down into classifications and specialties ([I]number one best selling new cookbook, novel, nonfiction[/I], etc.). The New York Times Best Seller list is one of the best-known bestseller lists for the US. The New York Times Best Seller list only tracks National and Independent book stores; it does not include sales from Internet retailers or box stores such as Walmart or Target.[B][SIZE=3] It is not uncommon that a book that appears as number 1 will fall short in actual sales.[/SIZE][/B] So, to answer your question in this post: "Now who bought all those copies ?" The answer is simple. The republican party. This is how they got it ranked before it was released. Now lets see how it actually does once it hits the bookshelfs. Then when the numbers are reported (actual retail sales) we can establish how IT REALLY SOLD. Up till now, the right wing groups have bought enough books to reach the best seller lists. Give it time, it will end up at BIG LOTS by spring next year. LOL:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
