BOOK WORLD - November 7, 2010

Political titles didn't see sales quite as brisk this past week, as the list of 10 last week falls to nine this week ...

There are, though, two new additions --- pundit Glenn Beck's latest, excoriating a perceived lack of adherence to the Constitution in contemporary Amercian society ... and "American Freakshow" from Willie Geist, a humorous take on the political scene from the MSNBC host and commentator (perhaps the cable channel's answer to Jon Stewart and the Daily Show?).
