Maybe that is due to the fact that Hillary's book has been discounted up to 30% and maybe even more !! "Treason" wasn't on 'sale' when I bought my copy.

Careful! My guess is that the publishers sold these books to the retailers at THE SAME discount--probably in the area of 45-55%. The retailers are passing along a nice chunk of that discount to customers to ENCOURAGE people to buy Hitlery's book, even if they don't make too much on it.

At the same time, they're not offering a discount on Ann Coulter's book. This will discourage sales and will allow them to keep a larger share of the proceeds of each sale they do get. Basically, if they have to sell that book because it's so popular, they're going to make sure to soak the lousy conservatives who buy it for all they're worth. It's slimy, but perfectly legal.

My suggestion, buy from Amazon. They're discounting Treason 30%....



Then read it and go back and write a review on Amazon. Currently, the book has 229 reviews and only a 3 star rating..... Wonder why?

I bought "Treason" yesterday at Borders. Both Ann and Hillary's books were discounted 30%.

They had Hillary's book promenently displayed with many copies available. I asked the costumer service desk why Ann's book wasn't displayed like Hillery's. He said that because Ann's book wasn't on the best seller list. I told him the check the Amazon.com list.

He told me where to find Ann's book, way back in a corner (literaly) with only one copy on the shelf.

"My suggestion, buy from Amazon."

I understand that Amazon now refuses to advertise with Rush since the liberals got all up in arms. Somebody posted a link to a letter from Amazon on a thread the other day...can't recall which one right off hand, stating that.
