It’s a hundred pages, like 11 bucks, and they wanted to donate 25 or $30,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the book back to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, and the young man wanted to know how much it would cost to advertise. I told him, ‘No, you don’t want to know,’ and I started asking him some questions about the book, and it turns out — folks, this warmed my heart the whole weekend — that when the young man called here to tell us about his book, it was on the Amazon list. It was at around 585,000 on the sales rankings. I didn’t know that they ranked books that far on Amazon. But I checked it two or three times, and that’s the figure I came out with. By three o’clock in the morning Saturday, when Obama’s vice presidential announcement had been made, Pulling Weeds to Picking Stocks had gone from 585,000 to #5 and had sold out.
It was out of stock at Amazon.com after his call to this radio program, and I think it still is out of stock. I think you can still get it. It’s $11. It’s a hundred pages. That’s just great. Can you imagine how happy that whole family was over the weekend, ’cause they ended up getting about $45,000 worth of advertising on the program with his phone call, gratis. You know, plus a live read from the host to boot — which adds a premium, by the way, ladies and gentlemen. So congratulations to the Beatty Boys and the book Pulling Weeds to Picking Stocks. It’s still for sale. I should check. We should go and see if it’s still out of stock, but I do know it got as high as #5 overnight Friday into Saturday morning.
