If he doesn't feel like promoting it more, and if the grassroots don't feel like a book bomb, then that's the result. :o

Seems to me he is doing a lot of work promoting it. What more do you think he can do? You must admit, it is a fairly limited subject matter of interest. Also, there is lots of stiff competition this time of year.

I propose we do something about this. I propose we contact all the "Websites for Liberty" (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=173700)and ask them to inform their members about "End the Fed" through a message, front page blog post, or email and also put up a banner that we create. We can also mention www.AudittheFed.com in the message.

I think this will help our sales alot.

Go make a card board cut out right now that reads "End the Fed!" and go put it out next to the highway. Call your local book store and ask if they have it in stock and if not to order at least one for you if not more.. tell them there is demand for this book. Go ahead and buy a couple more copies for Christmas gifts, send a copy to your college, donate a copy to the library there. Send and email out about how much you enjoyed the book, post on facebook it's the best book you've read in awhile. Write letters about it to the newspaper and what not.

On a positive note, #15 on the New York Times bestseller list... could be worse.

too heavy of a subject for boobus americanus to appreciate...

the boobs prefer sophomoric crap like Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny"..or Palin's "Going Rogue" or Obama's "Audacity of Hope"

fucking idiots

It seems almost too obvious that the Fed may have helped dampen the books debut. However, this is going to be a cult classic with longevity.

The sad thing is, that this is a flop of a book.

it's not an easy subject matter for the masses, MAX is right

the book has done well IMO for a book on the Federal reserve. How many are there? I think Ron will be happy with the publicity

Some crap biography about Edward Kennedy is out-doing Ron Paul's "End the Fed".

We're slackin' people!

Two weeks so far on the New York Times bestseller list (#6 & #15)...and was in the top five overall on Amazon for books at one time. That is not bad at all.

I own both End the Fed and The Revolution.Had I known I could have bought these titles autographed for just $45 a title I would have purchased from here (https://www.campaignforliberty.com/store/index.php). I am hoping to scratch up the extra 90 bucks to purchase my second copy of each.These might be worth something someday.

...90 bucks to purchase my second copy ... might be worth something someday...

If the ideas presented in Ron Paul's latest book, "End the fed" are ignored, someday his book will be worth millions of dollars, even at garage sales!

Great. Maybe I could barter it for a loaf of bread.

The book is great, but if anything, the content is too watered down and not complicated enough.

Remember, the best selling non-fiction book of the 21st century, by far, is "John Adams" by David McCulloch.

Also, Ron Paul is known as a defender of the Constitution. The chapter on the Constitution is a little weak.

B & N had a huge display - front and center as you walk in the door. I bought copy #2 just for that reason.
