[Syncronaut Seven]

They're all here, Coulter, O'lielly, North, Ingraham, Liddy, Savage. One Dollar apiece! What a waste of trees. At least we know who is warehousing this filth.

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Remind me again where

is Clinton, Moore and others?

Oh yes ON THE SHELF...

AMAZING

[LincolnMcGrath]

3. At those prices, you must only have to pay for

the true statements!

[spooky3]

11. LOL

[devilgrrl]

4. The Bush - Haters Handbook was flying off the shelf today...

at Barnes & Noble! :evilgrin:

[Cat Atomic]

5. Who's paying for this?

Seriously- I'd like to know how the finances are working there. They're obviously being purchased in bulk- nothing new there. But I'd like to know exactly who's doing these bulk purchases.

[K-W]

6. Id bet on either a rich crazy right winger or a think tank

nt

[Cat Atomic]

9. Yep... somebody like a Scaife... or maybe even the RNC.

I wouldn't be surprised.

It could even be the book's publishers, I suppose. I'd love to know.

[lostnfound]

17. Franken's book talked about exactly that.

Garbage RW books massively subsidized by conservative think tanks just to spread their message.

[DemBones DemBones]

7. Yeah, I've noticed a preponderance of RW books

in the political section the Edward R. Hamilton discount book catalog. Can't recall ever seeing any well-known leftist authors represented there.

Not that it's bad to have books in their catalog, they carry tons of good books, especially nonfiction, at low prices because they've been remaindered. (Prices are starting to go up, though, with on-demand printing reducing overruns.)

[grok]

8. eek!!

You THEN have to buy 4 books at regular price! :(
Fine Print...

Grok

[LatteLib]

10. This is the equivelent of a Republican online garage sale

3 door stops for a dollar

[Muddleoftheroad]

12. This is the way the book field works

You do the printing either way, so you guess at how many copies you need. If you underestimate, you have to do a second printing which is quite expensive. If you go over, the books end up in discount stores. But going over is cheaper in the long run.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

13. LMAO so the "daggers" have been found!

[rucky]

14. Still not worth the paper they're printed on n/t

[baldguy]

15. Discount book stores

always have piles and piles of right-wing screeds by inarticulate morons like Coulter & O'Rielly - and nothing from Chomsky, or Hillary, or Joe Conson, or Al Franken, or Michael Moore, or anyone else that REAL PEOPLE ACTUALLY BUY AND READ.

[G_j]

16. too rough

for toilet paper..

[ret5hd]

18. hmmm...whois doesnt tell us much...

It would really be interesting to know who registered this site. It would be hilarious to find scaife's name at the end of that trail.

[Skidmore]

20. Buying their own stuff alright. Further investigation at

register.com reveals that one Tom Kubala of Eagle Publishing Company, at One Massachusetts Ave, Washington, DC is the Administrative Contact for this site. And a Yahoo search turns up this at http://www.regnery.com/eagle/eagle.html:

"REGNERY PUBLISHING is a subsidiary of Eagle Publishing, considered by many America's leading conservative publishing company, whose headquarters are located in Washington, D.C..

Eagle periodicals, books, and book clubs give readers up-to-the-minute news as well as in-depth analysis and commentary on the events that shape our world.

21. The Conservative Book Club predates the Internet

They claim to have been around for 35 years--that's 1968. I believe it; we had a few people in Berlin who got their books from them because they were cheaper than the Stars and Stripes bookstore and had a better selection of this kind of book.

Or any kind of book, for that matter; the selection at the Stars and Lies Bookstore was not great if you didn't want children's books, of which they had a vast selection.

19. Cheap propaganda!

Merry Xmas, indeed!
