We’re Number 6! The New York Times Business List

IMG00098-20100921-1231

I have been traveling enough that I did not get around to posting this until now.  Good Boss, Bad Boss is hanging in there pretty well on the bestseller lists.  In particular, last Sunday it was number 6 on the New York Times Business Bestseller list for hardbacks. Also, The No Asshole Rule was number 5 on the paperback business list and my publisher tells me will appear on other New York Times lists over the next couple weeks.   The sales of these books are a bit surprising to me because — despite the rise of the web — the success of both books is due more to sales in old fashioned bookstores than online sales.  Good Boss, Bad Boss is doing especially well at Barnes & Noble stores (see the rather rough picture above of a Barnes & Noble store in Midtown Manhattan) and The No Asshole Rule paperback is doing well in airport bookstores, especially Hudson's, which is displaying it prominently.

    Congratulations, Bob. I just finished reading GB/BB and thought it was great. My reading of it also coincided with a superb, three-day Innovation Engineering training seminar I attended led by Doug Hall and the University of Maine. Your writing and Doug’s push to innovate are clarion calls to all us to do better. As much as we need innovation in this country, it won’t come about in the presence of lousy, a..hole bosses. Great work. Keep banging the drum.
