At Borders tonight... A table with political books....
Sarah Palin's bio was large in size but tiny in depth, around 200 pages.

It was next to Biden's which was smaller in size but heftier, around 350 pages.

I open Sarah's book and there was a lot of white space on the page, about an inch or inch and quarter margin all around. The type like a twelve font. you would be lucky to 50k words.

Biden's, on the other hand, was as dense as a text book. The type was a lot smaller, about 8 point and the margins were smaller. I would say closer to 100k words.

Anyway, they were next to each other. I think the person who is in charge of the displays purposely put them together to send a message about experience and depth of character.

I could be wrong, but it was really stunning to see the difference.

4. I think your judgement is right on the money...
What was done to Sarah Palin's so-called book is what is done when the contents are shall we say skimpy?

And Biden's book is weightier...both actually, and figuratively...

Very clever of the Border staffer to put them side by side that way...;)

He who has eyes to see, let him see...

Or words to that effect...

5. The Borders near my house has its political table stacked with discount copies of "Obamanation"
Looks like they bought too many back when Corsi was considered a legit writer. Now everyone knows the guy is a cook and so won't buy his POS "book."

6. That and Pale-in's probably had a bunch of illustrations like....
a map with Alaska and Russia.

I wonder if they have a "The Bush Doctrine for dummies" for her?

9. Were there lots of pretty pictures in Failin's? That's so much better than lots of words.
