Sales Soar For Iraq Study Group Report

(AP) NEW YORK It isn’t just politicians who want to read "The Iraq Study Group Report."

Within hours of the report’s release in book form Wednesday, it had soared to No. 18 on Amazon.com, after being at No. 4,101 on Tuesday. Anne Messitte of Vintage Books said the study was already in a second printing, although she declined to give any exact numbers.

"We are continuing to receive orders all the time and will work to keep up with demand," said Messitte, executive vice president and publisher of Vintage, a paperback imprint of Random House, Inc.

Government documents aren’t usually big sellers, but two years ago W.W. Norton & Co.’s official version of "The 9-11 Commission Report" sold more than 1 million copies—even though the text could be downloaded for free—and received a National Book Award nomination.

The Iraq book has a suggested retail price of $10.95, and Vintage announced Wednesday that a "portion" of the proceeds would be given to the National Military Family Association, a nonprofit organization that assists members of the military and their families.

As a gov't document, I'd think it should be online somewhere...
