  1. Usually #1 on Walmart.com and Amazon.com since her tour info came out. Generally 1 to 3 before that, occasionally down to 5-6.

    At double the price, back up to #5 at B&N. Had dropped to 30 or so after word got out on the $8.98 -$9.00 prices. Why pay double?

    Was permanently fixed at #1 at Borders, even at double price, but now almost disappeared. Try to find it without searching. Weird. Did they run out? They hid it.

    Disappeared at Walmart a couple of days before reappearing at $10 when they started the price war. Did they run out, then buy a zillion? Did Sarah make them a big player in online books? Will she have a book signing at a Walmart?

    Hard to find at Target, #3 pre-order at $8.99. They don't want to sell it at that price.

    Free or $4.97 with Newsmax subscription.

    Not at Sam's or Costco. Search "Palin", get corrected to "plain."

  2. At Borders it is #1 under pre-release. At Books A Million it has been #1 in non-fiction from the day it went on sale on Sept 29th. Even at B&N where it had dropped out of the top 10, it is still #1 in pre-release sales, and is now at #53 in their 100 best selling books this year, and is the only pre-release book in the top 100 bestsellers, competing against many books that have been out all year.
