Evolutionary theory is a passion of mine so when I saw it, not knowing what it was, my instinct was to buy it. Looking through it, I just laughed. There were twelve of them on the shelf and I marked each of the spines with a small dot so I could tell if they sold. A month later none had sold. The same copies sat on the shelf for more than two years at BN. Then, they started to move, because an instructor at a local Christian college made them required reading. I happened onto a student buying one and commented that they weren't selling very well. He told me he was forced to buy it. Today, ten years later, two of the twelve I marked still occupy the shelf. I've seen stacks of them at bargain book places.<br /><br />The video says fifty thousand have been sold in ten years. No so impressive.<br /><br />I'm waiting for one of those Larry Moran biochem texts to show up on the BN shelf. I'll buy that for sure.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15316459700934662467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-91578811220380669182010-12-01T16:51:19.201-05:002010-12-01T16:51:19.201-05:00Did he happen to mention which scientists he was t...Did he happen to mention which scientists he was talking about or provide any references at all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-7213314214455862982010-12-01T16:23:13.753-05:002010-12-01T16:23:13.753-05:00Wow.... just wow.
