A first for me

Three spots in top 100 sellers International Security on Amazon:

#17 PNM paperback

#41 BFA paperback

#80 PNM hardcover.

I've had two volumes on a list plenty of times, but this is the first time I see three.

Then I wonder how GP is listed under International-->Relations but not International Security.

Still, as ego-surfing goes, no complaints.

Larger point: Want to sell your old books? Write a new one that sells well.

GP Hardcover is now #9 Politics/US and #12 International/Relations, with the Kindle at #3 Politics/US and #8 International/Relations. GP hardcover sits overall at 1,733, no doubt bounced by the four radios this week.

That stuff finally winds down after nine weeks, so I better enjoy this while it lasts.

Now I go back to selling more the old-fashioned way: talks.

Dr. Barnett, I'm not really sure how to say this, so I'm going to be blunt. Can you post, somewhere on your blog, a list of books that you can suggest to your blog readers. I know that you (and probably most, if not all, of your readers) are very well educated (probably Ivy league), middle+ aged, and more than likely work for the government. I was wondering if you could do this for the simpletons like me (who are 20 something, fresh out of a mediocre state university, with no real background in political science. I myself have a philosophy/anthropology background.) who want to learn a great deal about political reality and its ramifications. I have only began reading politics and most of it has been on the middle-east. I was wondering if you could start by making suggestions about what you know, China and Russia. Current political theory is also very much appreciated.

Congrats, Tom, and although we don't agree on everything, your books are required reading.

Thank you for putting the knowledge out there . .
