Holds Alert: OUR REVOLUTION
Senator Bernie Sanders’s book, releasing today, is #1 on Amazon and is racking up holds in libraries, Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In (Macmillan Thomas Dunne Books; Macmillan Audio; OverDrive Sample),
Holds ratios are topping 5:1 in libraries that have ordered copies while others have yet to place orders, perhaps due to a lack of pre-pub reviews. Sanders, who is emerging as the leader of the Trump opposition, is getting high profile media coverage, which is driving sales and holds.
He was on CBS This Morning yesterday and his appearance there is currently the #1 trending video on YouTube:
He also sat down with Stephen Colbert last night (the full interview spans two clips):
NPR’s All Things Considered featured Sanders as well (see below for audio). He has also recently been on The View, Face the Nation, and many other network and cable news shows.
As we wrote earlier, the book recounts Sanders’ primary fight and offers a call to arms to continue his revolution.
