Me: Not sure how to respond to this, as I am grateful for as well I've done even if I never sell another book. But a few points. First, my book is still selling, according to Bookscan about 1,200+ a week. The paperback (with new material!) won't be released until 2009, so it's entirely possible, though hardly guaranteed, that I will match or beat many of the combined sales numbers listed above.  A few other things are worth noting. This was my first book, which has all sorts of disadvantages sales-wise. And yet it was a #1 NYT and Amazon bestseller. The publisher underestimated it's potential and didn't bring enough books to market until well after the high-water mark of publicity and interest. They did very good at playing catch-up, but I don't know how many chips I left on the table. Authors like Chomsky and Krugman have/had huge institutional advantages given previous sales records a friendly mainstream media and enormous support in some cases from the Democratic Party (Lakoff, Krugman) and universities (Chomsky). Meanwhile, most of the mainstream outlets — NYT, The New Republic, The  Economist, PBS etc — have either ignored the book entirely or played shabby shoot-the-messenger games trying to discredit me and the book rather than engage it honestly. Also, it's been a miserable time for conservative books generally these last few years. So, I think when all is said and done the success of Liberal Fascism compares quite respectably with most of these guys and  I am very proud of how well it's done and extremely grateful for the support it's received.
