It wouldn't surprise me a bit, though what I've heard is that they are just too small to handle the demand.
Sounds like a lot of the book's claims are falling apart under close scrutiny, but of course the people who buy the book won't care about that.
And yeah, the Clinton book sold very poorly here once his book signing was over at the local B&N. It sold like hotcakes for the weeks leading up to the signing because we were the only place in the area that still had copies--B&N sold out almost as soon as the event was announced. I'm so glad we didn't have to deal with those hassles--I heard it was a total PR nightmare. But now the books are just taking up space.
I sent an angry email with various quotes from this.. here is my reply today:
