Guess what book is still in print nine years after it topped...
...the NY Times best seller list? Al Franken's RUSH LIMBAUGH IS A BIG FAT IDIOT. I saw it today in trade paperback at a Barnes & Noble.

So, do you think any of the recent books by Coulter, Hannity, O'Reilly, et al, will be still be selling strongly in 2013?
