Now that Senator Joe Biden has been selected as Barack Obama's running mate, his book sales are taking off. His book, Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics is back on the New York Times bestseller list.
The Barnes & Noble on Concord Pike in Brandywine Hundred has plenty in stock. The book has been selling relatively well there. When Biden attended signings upon the book’s publication, a spokesperson says, the turnout and sales were a huge success.
Now that Biden is one step from the main national political spotlight, that
attention is even more potent.

At the Borders on Geoffrey Drive in Stanton, about 20 hardback copies were in stock when Biden was added to the ticket. They're gone, and a spokesperson says the store is accepting reserved orders for the roughly 400 paperbacks it expects to arrive soon. Even the inventory system is having trouble keeping up with demand.
Joe Biden is speaking tonight at the Democratic Convention: we think his book sales will continue to do well through the election season.
