Living History, Clinton's book, continues to do a brisk business.....

Maybe that is due to the fact that Hillary's book has been discounted up to 30% and maybe even more !! "Treason" wasn't on 'sale' when I bought my copy.

Careful! My guess is that the publishers sold these books to the retailers at THE SAME discount--probably in the area of 45-55%. The retailers are passing along a nice chunk of that discount to customers to ENCOURAGE people to buy Hitlery's book, even if they don't make too much on it.

At the same time, they're not offering a discount on Ann Coulter's book. This will discourage sales and will allow them to keep a larger share of the proceeds of each sale they do get. Basically, if they have to sell that book because it's so popular, they're going to make sure to soak the lousy conservatives who buy it for all they're worth. It's slimy, but perfectly legal.

My suggestion, buy from Amazon. They're discounting Treason 30%....



Then read it and go back and write a review on Amazon. Currently, the book has 229 reviews and only a 3 star rating..... Wonder why?

I picked my copy of Treason up today on my lunch break. I actually got it for 30% off at the Barnes & Noble here in Lakeland (FL). Annie's book was actually well-displayed, right up front on the bestsellers shelves, directly below the display of Her Heinous' bound pack of lies. To be completely fair, this is a very conservative area, so the B & N folks must know they can't get away with the "hide the conservative's book" antics they pull in so many other parts of the country.

Anyway, there were only three copies of Annie's book left (two after I made my purchase), while the shelf space reserved for the Beast was full! The clerk, who was very nice, said that Treason was flying off the shelves, and that she might have to read it herself to see why it was so popular. Warmed the cockles of my heart, it did.

Unfortunately, now I have to work the rest of the day before I can go home and start reading Treason - it's going to be a loooooooong afternoon.
