Especially the non-fiction one. It could be that there are conservatives groups (think ones with money) buy large quanitites of the book. Eventually they'll wind up giving away or selling at reduced prices for some kind of promotional deal.

people buy books that they may disagree with in order to know what arguments the author is making. Knowledge is power; to counter an argument, you need to know what argument is being made.

Not everyone who buys a book agrees with what it says or the philosophy behind it.

Regnery buys back a lot of their own books and give them away to people at conservative events.

Equivalent to the coupon clipper/shoppers that they give away at the grocery stores.

Levin's book is published by a division of Simeon and Schuster and I doubt that the wingers are buying it in bulk from Amazon and Barnes & Noble where it's in the top 10 on both sites.

That said, as I pointed out below it's only a few thousand books.

Nothing to get hung about.

Rmoney got 61 million in 2012 and Obama still was re-elected.

You're worried about a few thousand books sold by Levin?

I'd say some perspective is in order.
