Topline
Print sales of Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance’s 2016 book “Hillbilly Elegy” soared 13,000% in the week he was announced as Donald Trump’s running mate, according to data from Circana, an increase that drove Publisher Harper Collins to order a new print run for the memoir to meet demand.

We streamed it last week great movie. Glenn close and Amy did a really good job.
The salesperson claimed that they were putting it in the place where people were most likely to find it, but wouldn't that have been in Biography or up front with the "New and Noted" books?
They try everything they can to hide the message.
Of course it will not appear on the NYT’s best seller list.
Only new books get on that list. Otherwise #1 would be the Bible every time.
IIRC "Hillbilly Elegy" got rave reviews from NPR when it came out.
Only lately have Democrats determined it was weird.
I think it was number four on Netflix as of yesterday.
So, a lot of people are watching the movie.
I saw it several years ago when it came out. Very well acted movie.
We bought a copy.
To the Left any normal person is “weird.” Members of the Left are the freakshows. See Olympics opening for reference.
When Donald Trump was a TV celebrity and a commercial real-estate developer, he could hang out with Schumers and Clintons and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and the democRATs loved him. He “knew his place” and “stayed in his lane”.
Then he ran for President.
And that was not “his place”, nor was it “his lane”.
And Donald Trump suddenly became “LITERALY HITLER”, the most hated man by the left.
The same ‘rats are doing the same thing with Sen. Vance.
I like Barnes & Noble, but it seems like most of their employees are kind of like Starbucks employees... “alternative” slackers who’d rather be home getting high.
Why do you voluntarily give up your hard earned dollars to either barnes & noble or starbucks?
Over priced leftists corporations.
Shame.
Slackers Squared!
As long as he’s not Austin Weird or Portland Weird
I’m listening to the audiobook now. After I finish it, I’ll watch the movie.
Check your local library. They probably have a copy, maybe more than one.
It was a best seller when it was first published, so it should be on the shelves.
