http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/01/why_george_orwells_1984_is_no.htmlWhy George Orwell's '1984' is No. 1 and sold out on Amazon's best sellers list
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- George Orwell's "1984," that book you were probably forced to read back in high school, spent this week at the top of Amazon's best sellers list. It's so popular hard copies are currently out of stock. Even all of the Cuyahoga County Library's copies of the book are checked out.
Why? Alternative facts.

I just went and checked out on Amazon and Signet's paperback and hard cover versions are both 'temporarily sold out,' so yep, they are sold out.

No one cared.
Still have them.
You can't really sway anyone's opinion unless you have a TV or radio show.
