New York Observer:

The Media Mob has learned that conservative radio and television host Glenn Beck has just finished signing a huge new two-book deal with Simon & Schuster imprint Threshold Editions. According to a source with knowledge of the deal, the agreement will net Mr. Beck, the host of Headline News' "Glenn Beck," approximately $3 million. The initial print run will be a whopping 750,000 copies.

This past fall, Threshold Editions published Mr. Beck's "An Inconvenient Book," which immediately debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

With only 23% of Americans (bushies) in the possible group of people that MIGHT buy this book, what a loser.

Great! Now, functional illiteracy and complete lack of critical thinking is something to aspire to.

I feel badly for America, the glory days are over.

Congradulations Glenn on the book deal. Your last book was very funny. I look forward to your stage show on June 14th in Akron.

Just ignore all the negative comments here, these moonbats are just jealous that they can't write two bestselling books, soon to be three.

Congratulations to Glenn Beck on his book deal and kudos to the far-sighted management of Threshold Editions for signing him at such a bargain rate. Add in the readers and it's clearly a win/win for all!

I'm not sure that I trust book sales anymore - according to Amazon the new James Frey book is among the top 20 which I find really hard to believe.

I know someone who has a good idea for a book - a woman moves to nyc to make her dreams come true, leaves a few years later bitter and poor and feeling cynical about life in general, gets a job working for a high level exec at major financial company before mortgage scandal,begins to realize they're corrupt, hiding things from public, lying so they can profit from their schemes, she leaves company bitter and poor and feeling cynical about life in general.

Of course there are already a million books just like that out there - everyone thinks they're so unique but they're really not.
