Ron Paul's new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, is currently at #1 on the Amazon best sellers list, and debuted this week at #7 on the New York Times best seller list. Other presidential candidates on the Amazon list: Barack Obama with his best selling book, Audacity of Hope, at #113, Hillary Clinton's book is at #21, 380 and John McCain's currently resides at #4,758. Obama's books are also on the NY Times best seller list, but they've been out for a long time, as have Clinton's and McCain's.
I read Dr. Paul's 1986 campaign tome, Freedom Under Siege: The Constitution After 200 Years. He has written a lot about monetary policy, but that book was his first, I think, to approach a wider spectrum of topics. There have been 2 or 3 books released this campaign season by Dr. Paul, but Revolution is the first one that doesn't contain previous writings. I haven't read it yet, but hope to do so, soon.
