I go to garage sales every Saturday, and I share the observation that best-selling books show up within a couple of years.

A couple of interesting exceptions. I have seen only two copies of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and only a handful of Harry Potter books.

I could buy 20 Tom Clancy books every week for 50 cents each.

Rush Limbaugh's books are also unusual, but not rare.

I've seen PLENTY of the Rush Limbaugh books at flea markets. Howard Stern books too. Basically, the more popular the book, the more of them you will see ending up at flea markets or thrift stores. Simple Freakonomics. The more books out there of a particular title, the more of them have to go thru the book recycling system which means that they end up at the flea markets and thrift stores.

Again, I have seen NO Hillary books at such locations. We are expected to believe that the supposedly BEST SELLING Book with MILLIONS of copies published somehow defied all laws of book recycling economics.

I also do the Goodwill shopping thing and I can get all of Rush's books any day for $.99; even the hard bound. I haven't seen any copies of Hilary's book or Bill's book, except when it was new and in Sam's club.
