Of course, you won't be hearing this from the American media.

Bush's memoir sells 2MILLION copies in just over a month - nearly as much as Bill Clinton's sold in six years | Mail Online

Quote:
Former U.S. President George W Bush's memoir has sold an astonishing two million copies since it was released in early November - and it's not even in paperback yet.

A spokesman for Crown called the performance remarkable.

He claimed he could not think of any other hardcover nonfiction books in 2010 that had sold even one million copies, much less two.
Good for President George W. Bush.

I wonder why the US media is not reporting on this.

Because it doesn't "fit" their liberal agenda, that's why.

Thanks for reminding me to buy my copy.

I'm sure this just eats some people up.

I think a lot of people want a copy of the book written by he, who will go down as the worst President in US history. It will be kind of a keepsake, I bought one.

Probably because they realize nobody gives a damn, it's not newsworthy...

Please explain why you think the story is worthy of news coverage.

It's b/c the American people are reading it so they'll know what to be on the lookout for, so maybe it won't happen again.

Tell me why you think it isn't. We live in a world where Miley Cyrus' latest hairstyle makes the papers and a former President's memoirs discussing the weightiest issues on the globe setting records doesn't warrant mention? That's a remarkable worldview.
