All the way back in September 2009 I wrote a
blog about a book that
HarperStudio had published
Since that blog I had put several of my friends and associates on to the book. Sharing the blog with them as well as my opinion on how the book had really open my eyes to a new way of viewing the world and my place in it. Well since then several of my comrades and like minded individuals picked up a copy of the book and read it, so many folks bought copies of the book that it became a National Bestseller.
My friends and associates are well educated folks from diverse backgrounds with just a diverse group of beliefs, values, and opinions so I didn't really expect everyone to get on the same page about a book.
Now in the past there have been quite a few books that I knew of that were national bestsellers, I knew that they had hit bestseller lists through out the county because I work for a publishing house and in the lobby of the building I work in the book would be prominently featured the way
The 50th Law is featured in the photo to the left. Often times I saw this books mentioned or featured in the major print publications or televisions and radio shows, however very rarely would I actually see it everyday in the hustle and bustle of my life. This is one of the few books that actually saw everyday people, that I could relate to, reading this book. To me that is the definitive sign of a book being a bestseller beyond hitting a list, which to me means absolutely nothing.
