I Just Got Back From Barnes & Nobles....

[THUNDER HANDS]

The Richard Clark book is sold out, and there's a waiting list of three weeks.

The guy behind the counter said he's worked there for 5 years and has never seen a book sell out so quickly or been requested so much.

Good news, my friends.

1. Excellent news!

Gives me hope. The cynic in me fears another "terrorist attack" followed by a code red though. I sincerely hope that won't be the case.

[Caution]

2. I had the same experience yesterday

At Barnes and Nobles (had them check peabody, burlington and boston MA stores), Waldenbooks (Danvers and Swampscott MA stores) and Borders (peabody and boston ma stores). Can't get it anywhere.

at least at my local independently owned bookstore. Which still has copies of Clarke's book too.

Stay away from the evil empire! (chain bookstores)

as in Tulsa

[ignatius]

23. I had one of those here in Indy. B&N opened 2 years later, We

hung on for 1 more year, then decided to close it down. I miss the books, some of the customers, but not all the work.

[Bozita]

19. How many copies were printed in the first run?

anybody know?

[RamboLiberal]

21. I think I read 300,000 with another 100,000

being rushed out the earlier this week.

On edit - what do you know, I remembered correctly.

Newsmaking allegations, White House rebuttals and a ready audience for anti-Bush books have helped make Richard A. Clarke's ``Against All Enemies'' a big best seller, publishing officials say.

``Against All Enemies,'' released Monday, had an announced first printing of 300,000 copies and an additional 100,000 already have been ordered, according to the Free Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

``It's blowing out at our stores,'' says Bob Wietrak, a vice president of merchandising at Barnes & Noble, Inc. ``There has been phenomenal publicity. The book has been talked about on every talk show and every news show you can think of. Also, he's an authority. He was there.''

<snip>

Wietrak says the White House criticisms have only helped the book. ``Against All Enemies'' was ranked No. 1 on Amazon.com's list of best sellers as of Tuesday afternoon and has raised sales for other works attacking Bush, including Kevin Phillips' ``American Dynasty'' and Ron Suskind's ``The Price of Loyalty,'' a collaboration with former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill.
