Hillary Clintons new memoir, Hard Choices, topped the Barnes & Noble best-seller list in its first week, according to the companys Nielsen BookScan sales numbers released to publishers on Monday and obtained by BuzzFeed.
Barnes & Noble, the countrys largest retail bookseller, has sold just over 24,000 copies of the book since its release on June 10. Hard Choices debuted at No. 1 on the booksellers hardcover best-seller list, which includes fiction and nonfiction.
Clintons memoir edged out the new Diana Gabaldon book, Written in My Own Hearts Blood, for the top spot, selling just 319 more copies, according to the sales list. (The Gabaldon book, released on the same day as Clintons, is the eighth installment in her long-running historical sci-fi romance Outlander series.)

Unlike the right wingers who have to go out and buy cases of their own books to bump up their ranking!

Meaning younger, tech savvier people aren't buying it much.

Their flashy devices captivates them.

There were a hell of a lot of young people there!
Secondly, unless this person knows the ages of the persons who purchased the books at Barnes and Noble, their argument falls flat.

Also, many people like to have the hard copy first edition in their hands. So they buy the actual book!
