Blank book on Democrats tops Amazon’s bestsellers
Conservative author's distinctly uninformative dig at US liberals proves surprisingly popular
SEATTLE — A sarcastic book “written” by a conservative author and filled with blank pages in a dig at Democrats is the top selling book on Amazon.
“Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide” consists of 266 pages and bills itself as “the most exhaustively researched and coherently argued Democrat Party apologia to date.”
It has a table of contents, chapters and a bibliography, but no words on the pages other than the book and chapter titles. It’s described on the Amazon website as “a political treatise sure to stand the test of time.”
With an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars across over 1,500 reviews as of Saturday night, it seems to have hit a satirical nerve. Several joking reviewers called for the release of an audiobook version.
As of Saturday night, it was Amazon’s best-selling book. The paperback is available for just under $8.
Author Michael J. Knowles told Fox News that when he took a look at the Democrats’ “record and reasons to vote for them,” he thought “it was probably best to just leave all the pages blank.”
