Anyone have a chart of its rise? I've been watching it rise, but it doesn't make an impact on others without the last months history.

Even better, it's #5, #14, and #19 in General Fiction, and #1, #2, and #3 in General Fiction, Classics. (Different editions.)
Pretty impressive for a book that's been out for half a century, eh?

#34 as of 3:30. What can you say, but that the book's recent performance is hugely impressive. It's been hanging around in the the top 100 now for many weeks. What other books have done that?
OT, but related: Rush wants to debate the President. Would that be Wesley Mouch versus Hank Readon? I admit I'm no great Rush fan, but I would pay serious money for that particular pay-per-view. I'd even put my copy of Atlas Shrugged down to watch.

I was in Barnes and Noble the other day and came across two books: A People's History of American Empire (American Empire Project) by Howard Zinn, Mike Konopacki, and Paul Buhles; and, Che: A Graphic Biography (Paperback).
The peculiarity was that they were both graphic books, and they were in the history/politics section.
Just maybe some of the conservative classics could be reprinted in graphic form. After all, the military used to think this was a pretty good format for training the troops.
And, as I recall from the time I browsed the shelves of the East Wind book shop in Sydney, so did the Communists.
The Road to Serfdom by Frederich A. Hayek is the only conservative book I know that is in comic form ( http://www.mises.org/books/TRTS/ ), and that might need to be updated.
