According to Salon's The Fix,
Ari Fleischer's news and gossip-free book about life in the inner Bush circle. "Taking Heat," published last month, has reportedly failed to sell less than a tenth of the 200,000 copies in its initial print run thus far.
Wait a second—it has failed to sell less than 20,000 copies? So what exactly are we to conclude? That it succeeded in selling 20,001? Or 200,000 for that matter?
UPDATE: Since I posted this, Salon has changed "less than" to "even." I guess they follow my blog closely!
