In his first week, former White House counterterrorism official Richard Clarke sold 129,617 copies of his AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, NIELSEN's Bookscan claimed on Wednesday.

ENEMIES easily debuts at #1, but Clarke has a long way to go to match the top non-fiction sellers of the past year:

Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton 1,546,000
Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them... by Al Franken. 1,030,450
Who's Looking Out for You? by Bill O'Reilly 932,750
Dude, Where's My Country? by Michael Moore 806,892
Treason by Ann Coulter 545,420
Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson 506,900
Deliver Us From Evil by Sean Hannity 505,335
I Am a Soldier, Too: The Jessica Lynch Story by Rick Bragg 472,501
The Savage Nation. Michael Savage. 259,335
Arrogance. Bernard Goldberg. 216,283
Bushwhacked. Molly Ivins. Random House 192,766
A National Party No More. Zell Miller 172,568
Shut Up and Sing. Laura Ingraham. 120,000
The Right Man. David Frum 108,333

Remember Clarke's book is in it's 8th printing and that is 650,000 copies.

1. It would be nice if we could see the bulk buy numbers with those posted

It seems like to me all of the conservative books are aided by huge bulk buys where as the "Normal People" books are real numbers.

2. "Clarke has a long way to go to"??

?? He's half way there in what, 1 1/2 weeks?

4. Outsells Ingraham in one week

LOL. Jeez...I bet he catches up to Zell's bulk book orders by next week, too.

5. This is hardly fair, though

O'Reilly, Coulter, Hannity, and Savage would have better numbers if their titles came out in pop-up picture book form, for their core supporters.
