There have been lots of political books in this election season. Do their sales foretell any political direction? “Informal polls taken by our store managers indicate that some 70 percent of our customers say they have no intention of reading these books; 15 percent say they will; and 15 percent are undecided. One Kansas City customer said, ‘I’m buying this book to show people where I stand.’ Another in New York said, ‘I’m buying this book because the author agrees with me’.”
