| New York Times anti-Kavanaugh Book Deemed an ‘Epic Bomb;' Only 3,120 Sold |
| 2019-10-07 |
| [AmGreatness] ...Released last month, The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation by New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly was expected to sell at least 10,000-12,000 in the first two weeks, according to the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard. ...A publishing source provided the latest BookScan numbers, which can account for about 80% of sales. That number is 3,120. "If you add in ebooks ‐ they may have sold a total of 4,000. That’s one of the most epic bombs in political publishing over the past decade," said the source. And here I assumed that every high school library in the land, and some abroad, are going to get a copy |
