If it wasn't so frightening, it would be silly. Dinesh D'Souzas, newly released book, America: Imagine a World Without Her, has done quite well the first two weeks it's been out. But the New York Times has refused to include it in its Nonfiction Best Seller list.

Washington Examiner:

His new book, on sale for three weeks, isn’t just absent from the top 10 lists already set for the next two Sundays, but totally missing from the list of the nation’s top 25 nonfiction hardcovers despite having sales higher than 13 on the latest Times chart.

According to sales reports provided to Secrets, D'Souza's new book America: Imagine a World Without Her, sold 4,915 in the first week and 5,592 in the second week. Had it been included on the upcoming June 22 Times hardcover nonfiction list, it would have ranked No. 8, and then No. 11 on the June 29 list that puts Clinton's sales at 85,721. The lists are widely circulated in the publishing industry before they go public.

 

The Times is somewhat mysterious in how it calculates its list, but it includes several books selling well under 3,000 copies in a week. A spokeswoman said, “We let the rankings speak for themselves and are confident they are accurate.”

Now that Slick Willie’s wife’s book has taken a tumble, they’ll probably “apologize” and let it back on the list. They’ve done everything they could do to make her look good.

Nacht und Nebel — it affects books as well as people.

[skinkinthegrass]

another d@mn good reason to buy his new book..it irritates, NY whore.

[Telepathic Intruder]

It’s decided on the same basis that Nobel Peace Prizes are handed out. By whoever/whatever makes the greatest contributions toward world socialism.

[HiTech RedNeck]

They are accurate about what they think ought to be selling!

welcome to 1930s nazi germany. we’ve actually been there awhile now.

Lol.
AMERICA envy. We have a NEW syndrome!!

Though I do have to say that for every THREE immigrants to America, ONE does go back to his/her homeland. I've read that statistic many times over the decades.

I don't think many Asian countries realize how hard Americans work. I know that some Russian folks came here and were shocked that Americans worked so much and so hard. They seemed to think that the streets were paved in gold and everything was free.

Hah. Live and learn, товарищ (tovarishch).

And The Times says they’re unbiased.

[Spok]

Not even a pretense of objectivity. Hypocrisy is the new reality.

Now that Slick Willie’s wife’s book has taken a tumble, they’ll probably “apologize” and let it back on the list.

Doubt it.
They don't want to get audited.

They’re becoming more irrelevant as time goes on. Most people expect newspaper reporting to be non-fiction.

[GeronL]

Strange. Have they finally decided to stop allowing conservative books on their list? They usually stay there a long time and get no mentions or reviews in the paper.

[SkyDancer]

That’s why I use my tag line courtesy of Mark Twain. No not that one, the other one.

[Baynative]

How did Hillary’s revision of her time as Sec of State get classified as NON-fiction?

[arderkrag]

If it wasn't so frightening, it would be silly. 

Ummmm...it ISN'T frightening. So, there's that.

[oldbrowser]

The list is now worthless. Another political illusion, just like the government statistics.

[Reddy]

The list is now as worthless as the Nobel Peace Prize.

When is the book burning ?
