I bought her book today at Borders. They had it for 30% off, 40% off with a Borders members card (which I have).
RE: “The table was pretty well picked over. The guy at the checkout said “I can’t believe how well this is selling”. I said “Well, I can.”
I was surprised at first over the price reduction. But then I realized it had more to do with the economy than anything. Places like Borders, or any book vendor for that matter, should be thankful they have such a popular item right now. She’s outselling everyone; and rightfully so.”

The only books selling now are by Conservatives it seems. The rest of them go begging. I get e-mail discounts from all the big retailers every single day and delete them.
Displays of James Patterson’s new book were full to the brim. That was the only one I compared to. Sarah’s table was well picked over. It was as though there had been a recent run on them and employees had yet to rearrange things. I kinda smiled...
I’m no longer a Patterson fan. The most recent one I read (not this new one) had pointed digs at Republicans. Earlier but recent ones had similar, material, unrelated to the narrative. I’ll not buy another, nor pick one up at the library.
Costco put algore on their Nov. mag. cover I heard.
My wife came home with Sarah’s book and I asked her “How much was it?
Book’s a Million charged her over $30 (after taxes). I told her I just saw it at Sam’s for just over $17. She returned the book to B-a-M and went to Sam’s to purchase the $17 one...One consolation though...while returning the book to B-a M she ran across a book about Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan (by Nicholas Wapshott) and purchased it for $1. Haven’t read it yet but for a dollar what have I to lose...
