3. Pissed that Richard Mellon Scaife didn't buy enough bulk orders?
Seriously, that's how these idiots sell their books - BULK ORDERS. Someone calls up a bookstore or the publisher and requests for say, a couple thousand books of Treason, or whatever the idiot diatribe of the moment is.

She's not selling books that many books to individual buyers.

It really burns me that they even count these bulk orders towards the NYTimes bestseller list. I mean, I'd like to know how she would be selling if you excluded bulk orders. But because of the bulk orders which put her on the NYTimes list, she's considered an important writer and folks somehow find relevance in what she writes.

It's just another right-wing sham!

11. At least the NYT's has the decency to show bulk orders...
that's a lot more than most would even contemplate. The trick is to catch her on TV when they ask bout 'bulk orders' to her face! I'm willing to bet that those blue eyes would pop right out of her head.

Buying bulk book orders helps warm the mansions of the RWnuts during winter, cheap paper burns slowly.

2. ANn didn't even make the top ten locally
for non-fiction. Newsmax always bragged how Hillary "never made it to #1", even though they never considered "non-fiction #1" to count. Instead they bragged that Hillary never beat Harry Potter. Looks like Newsmax better order another 100,000 copies in bulk to give out for free and push up Ann's numbers.

BTW: Didn't Hannity promise Coulter's book would topple Hillary's?

8. You can already buy it for a buck
on some Conservative website I saw links to earlier on WorldnetDaily.com. You get a choice from a collection of COoservative books and you can choose three of them for $1 each if you subscribe to some newsletter. Treason was one of the choices. Pretty much shows that it is bought in bulk.

10. It makes good kindling
I mean, cheap paper like that lights on fire real quickly. Maybe if I can get a few copies, I'll take them with me for next camping trip. (although I would have other uses for the book cover)

Interesting, interesting.....PLUG! http://thecoulterproject.blogspot.com

Heh heh, I'm such a jackass. But remember Ann saying that more people would read her book? She sure can attack with those unverifiable facts!

13. Not to mention worldwide sales
Hillary's Book got translated in almost every major language and sells very well everywhere; (re)building positive feelings for the US.
Coulter's name is not even known anywhere, but in the US.
