I saw it at the local Barnes & Noble

I had to laugh. Behind the cash register — where everyone has to look — a four foot high wall of shelves dedicated to Obama. The top and middle shelves were filled with hagiographies and Obama’s autobiographies. The bottom shelf, or ballast shelf, was D. K. Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals” about the brilliance of Lincoln’s war cabinet.

It’s OK until buying one is MANDATORY.
Meanwhile, Mark Levin’s “Liberty And Tyranny” continues its remarkable run at #1, and the media (and the bookstores) must be simply besides themselves. And doing everything they possibly can do to pull the Jedi mind trick: “Nothing to see here, move alone.”
A conservative manifesto reigning at the top of the best-seller lists for two months! This should not be possible in the new “enlightened” age.
Funny that MD should mention Levin’s book.
I just spend a week going through 6 different US airports and, as always, make it a point to wander around the bookstores in the terminal.
In most of them, Levin’s book was not in the best seller’s area. A couple did not have it at all – and in all but one I literally had to walk around to find it. Usually one or two copies near the back. In only one store was it on the front table. In that case it was just one copy on the back lower side out of view of anyone outside the store.
Laughable in the extreme because the place was flooded with POTUS and FLOTUS books in big ‘ole stacks.
You can’t make this stuff up.
