Why Books Are the Hot Medium

Blake writes From the New York Times – Week in Review

From the article; “former government officials have committed their recollections to books at least since 1934, when a former White House usher, Irwin Hood Hoover, published the memoir “Forty-Two Years in the White House”…

But seldom, if ever, have as many volumes thick with inside details of an administration appeared as fast as they have during the presidency of George W. Bush.

A shelf-load have become best sellers in the last five months, even before the end of Mr. Bush’s first term.”
