The junior high schoolish smart aleck Paul Krugman, who writes a column for the New York Times (Don’t bother reading them — here’s the general theme:  Democrats good, Republicans bad) mentioned my book, Lincoln Unmasked, in today’s column. Consequently, my Amazon.com sales ranking went from the 80,000 range to 4,929 a few minutes ago. Thanks, Paul!  As a fringe benefit my other book, The Real Lincoln, which was published nine years ago, went all the way to 3,966. Thanks again, Krug! I’ll use the extra royalty money to up my pledge for Robert Murphy’s challenge to Krugman for a debate over Austrian Business Cycle Theory.  (Paul, I wish I could return the favor; I just noticed that your 2007 book, The Conscience of a Liberal, has an Amazon.com sales ranking of 393,958).
