Vanity: Does anyone know how many of Pelosi's books have been sold vs. Joe the Plumber's book?
Self ^

Posted on 03/30/2009 2:26:35 PM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

Some liberal idiot in a DC area radio & TV industry blog is challenging me saying that Nancy Pelosi's book has sold more copies than Joe the Plumber's book. I beg to differ. How do I find book sales & stats?

HELP!

FYI - Joe Wurzelbacher is Joe the Plumber’s real name.

Nancy Pelosi wrote a book?

Hey Silvie, go have some Lefty’s ribs for me.

My brother moved from there. I’ve been there a lot.

Lefty’s is soooo good. My SIL wants to know if you’ve tried the two good Mexican restaurants near Lefty’s.

I want to try to recreate Lefty’s sweet potatoe souffle sometime.

You can try amazons snap-scan. They don’t give you sales numbers but popularity rankings.

Last I checked “Confessions of a crack whore octomother” was outselling Pelosi.

Does that number include the TRACTOR-TRAILER loads bought by DC lobbyists currying her favor???

I think you can safely estimate the number of Pelosi book sales. How many members of Congress have a D behind their name?

Pelosi's book only sold 2,737 copies it's first week. Recently I heard someone say the total was around 4,000.

I don't know how many books Joe the plumber sold, but his Amazon sales rank was considerably higher than Nancy's.

Seems like if Pelosi’s book were selling well, there’d be some kind of uptick in corresponding sales of crayons.

No, I have not been to the Mexican restaurants next to Lefty’s, although I’ve been to “Mexico Restaurant” on Festival Way (Crain Hwy.)

My favorite place is Hard Times Cafe.

Speaking of book sales, I heard on Mark Levin's nationally syndicated radio show tonight that his recent release, Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, is selling extremely well. ("Liberty" is shorthand for conservative principles and "tyranny" is shorthand for what the leftists have to offer.)

Of the 4,000, how many were bought using taxpayer money?

Even the hardcover (#115,700 in Amazon sales) has outsold Pelosi’s hardcover; in both conventional editions combined, his title has kicked all of hers (that we can track, but I doubt it’s much higher) into the dumpster where it belongs. His is only available hardcover and paperback, and isn’t on Kindle (yet).

Large print hardcover is ranked #1,727,161.
Pelosi’s unabridged audiobook version, #922,000.
Oddly enough, the paperback (which hasn’t yet been released) is listed at #158,020.
The Kindle version, #30,632 in Kindle Store (IOW, not as ranked on Amazon), must not be a big seller (there are 256,638 titles available for Kindle, it sez here).

Incidentally, justiceseeker93, the Mark Levin book you mentioned is the NUMBER ONE KINDLE STORE TITLE!
