Obama Pix Book hot Xmas item

[packman]

One of the early hot books of the holiday shopping seasons appears to be Obama: An Intimate Portrait by Pete Souza, the White House photographer during Obama’s two terms. The $50 hardcover, published by Little, Brown, features hundreds of photographs plus a foreword by the former President.

Over the weekend, independent booksellers reported having difficulty getting new copies and as of Monday morning the book is listed as out-of-stock at both Amazon and BN.com. On the B&N site, the company said the book will be available for shipping on December 15, while Amazon only now says about the status of the book" “order now and we'll deliver when available.”

It was sold out but plenty of Twitler, Michael savage and mark levin books.

3. My favorite Obama photo:

I think it says everything there is to say about the man and his presidency.

That photo was singled out in the discussion.

6. I was in Barnes and Noble

last weekend and they had this book and another really nice Obama pic book. I was leafing through it and teared up. A woman next to me was looking at the same book...I looked at her and she had tears streaming down her cheeks too... she looked at me and said “I know”.

7. I am envious of Pete Souza

If I could magically wish to have someones talent for myself and a career to match it, his years in the White House would be at the top of my list.

What a great match of photographer and subject that was. Obama is an incredible subject but I am not sure Souza gets enough credit. He has an amazing eye for subject matter.
