No Apology: The Case for American Greatness

Amazon.com Sales Rank: #32 in Books

A Patriot’s History of the United States: From Columbus’s Great Discovery to the War on Terror

Amazon.com Sales Rank: #14 in Books

And I’m betting LS didn’t buy a few hundred thousand of his own books.

Pan, PHUSA is #1 this week in the NYTimes paperback bestseller list, #10 on USAToday. And no, I didn't buy 100,000 copies (LOL).

BTW, some MIT guys did a study of how purchases affect Amazon rankings, and they calculated that a) a single block purchase (of, say, 10,000) is treated like a single purchase; and b) you have to have a heckuva lot of purchases to move a book. No one knows for sure, but our publisher thinks that top 10 on Amazon is many hundred a day, possibly 1,000 a day; and #1 should be good for over 1,000 a day. PHUSA was #1 for over a week!
