Books on Obama have shot up sales

CNN-IBN

New Delhi: Barack Obama's elevation to Presidency has made a lot of people happy - even his book publisher. People have been picking up his books, to see how he's lived the American dream.

Obama's autobiography, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, is now the top best-seller on Amazon.com. Written two years ago, sales of the book picked up overnight after his historic win.

An earlier autobiography, published in the mid-90s, Dreams from my Father comes in at number 2 on Amazon's best-seller list. Both Obama's books had already sold millions of copies before Obama's historic win.

And it's not just his books, but books on Obama that are making waves including Hopes and Dreams: The Story of Barack Obama by journalist Steve Dougherty, which saw sales jump more than 5,000 per cent in the last 24 hours, according to some reports.
