. The happiest guy in the book business is Random House executive Tom Perry, who watched Joe Biden's memoir go from bargain table to bestseller list in 24 hours. Published in summer 2007, "Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics" jumped to the top of Barnes & Noble.com's and Amazon's lists and was sold out by yesterday afternoon, reports AP. "We'll be reprinting," said Perry, who added that the paperback will come out within the week.

Good for Joe! ~~~

6. It's listed as available on Amazon now. I've been thinking about getting a copy.

Joe was MY choice in the primaries, and when he dropped out, I switched to Barack. I'm sooooo excited to have BOTH of my wishes come true!

7. Yeah, what are the odds that would happen?

We truly are lucky!

9. Oh comeon. I only mentioned it because someone posted "If you can get a copy!" n/t

11. That was me

I meant what were the odds we'd get BOTH Biden and Obama? Biden was my first choice also and I'm thrilled to have him on the ticket with Obama - a dream ticket.

He can earn some pocket change like Obama.......both don't have nothing on McCain and his heiress though.
