The Book Market Primary
At the moment, I am working part-time at a discount bookstore called Book Market. It's a chain of temporary stores that sell remainders (the books that didn't sell at retail).

The other day, I noticed some books written by Democratic presidential candidates. Keep in mind that the more copies of your book that end up in a place like Book Market, the worse your initial sales were (and presumably, the lower your popularity):

Author Title # copies
Joe Lieberman In Praise of Public Life 6 hardcover,18 paperback
An Amazing Adventure 15 hardcover
Wesley Clark Waging Modern War 1 hardcover

Bad news for Senator Palpatine.
