Are you saying that the book is the #1 non-fiction paperback debut in over forty years?

No. And neither is he. Where did you get that? At least now I know what your voice sounds like. Pretty good, you could surely be a professional speaker. I'm impressed. His non-fiction book (about taxes for pete's sake) is going to debut at #3 on the NYT bestseller list. As a paperback this is historical. Only two other paperbacks have beaten that record in the last 50 years.

From Nealz Nuze today

Yesterday we got the first numbers for sales of the soft cover edition of The FairTax Book. We debuted as No. 3! Now ... a little historical perspective. In the 1950's Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Weisel's book "Night" debuted as No 1. on the New York Times paperback list. Then in 1966 Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" debuted as No. 2. Now, in 2006, The FairTax Book debuts as No. 3! This is the highest first week for a paperback in 40 years!

See post 20 above for more information about why this is wrong

It is going to debut as #3 on the Non-fiction Paperback Bestseller list, not the overall list. All the books on that list are paperbacks.
