Daniel Bice: Gov. Scott Walker got rich advance for book, but poor sales.   (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/22/2014)

In other words, the book is selling at an average pace of 13 copies per day.

Scott Walker's "Unintimidated" to Fall Off a Cliff

Best performance: #181 on day 3.

Scott Walker's been called many things, but "best-selling author" isn't one of them.

Sadly, some of Scott's fans don't realize that the party is over.  (Only four 2-, 3-, and 4-star reviews during this time period.)

Scott Walker's "Unintimidated": 4 Weeks of Tepid Rankings and Opposing Viewpoints on Amazon

It hasn't been a particularly impressive ride for Scott Walker and Mark Thiessen.   Like a baby name that everyone's grown tired of, the book is on the verge of dropping out of the top 1000.

The Amazon bombing missions have now been reduced to a daily trickle of 5-star puff pieces.

It's Been a Roller-Coaster Sales Ride Since Scott Walker's "Unintimidated" Peaked on Its 3rd Day of Publication

The best the book could do:  #181 on Thursday, November 21.  (Which translates into sales of about 250 in one day.)

The post-Thanksgiving rally, when the book started to rebound from a ranking of 892, can probably be attributed to an ill-advised Amazon-bombing campaign of 1-star reviews.   In response, Walker's supporters launched a 5-star campaign of their own, cranking out 290 "rave" reviews in 3 days (December 2-4), which certainly must have generated a burst of sales.

It would have been better to allow the book to pass away quietly, on its own sinking lack of merit.

As for the reviews, well, it's been very quiet on this front for nearly a week now.  The bombing missions are apparently at an end.

In One Day: Fans of Scott Walker "Unintimidated" to Post 115 Five-Star Reviews on Amazon

Which more than doubles the total in the book's first 14 days of publication.

I'll be generous and assume it took these 115 folks two weeks to read this slim (288-page) volume, what with the Thanksgiving holiday and Black Friday and whatnot.

Scott Walker's Fans Accuse "Union Thugs" of Writing Fake Reviews of "Unintimidated", Then Do Likewise

And if "fake" means providing comments without having read the book, then I suspect most of the 1* reviewers stand guilty as charged.

But, hey, what's good for the blue goose is good for the red gander.

missjill's call to arms!   Now, here's your chance to tell Scott Walker how you feel about him -- and his latest attacks on public employees. Submit your own review here on Amazon and then copy it into the comments below as well.

Hmm, nothing here about actually reading the book before submitting a "review".

It's all very silly, of course, on both ends of the political spectrum, but fake reviews in numerous guises go with the Amazon territory, no matter what the type of book.

Tracking Reviews of 

"Unintimidated" on Amazon

55 five-star reviews were posted on Amazon with a 3-hour period this morning.

FRI2 = the day after this article was published.

Walker critics flock to Amazon to rip his new book, whether they've read it or not. Capital Times, 11/28/2013)

Well said, Jack Craver, with RG's emphasis added.  While the zeal with which the governor's critics rushed online to diss his book may demonstrate that he will never achieve the level of popularity that, for instance, former Gov. Tommy Thompson once enjoyed, it is perhaps the small number of reviewers who gave Walker's book two, three or four stars that say more about his political future. It's that tiny group of independent voters in the middle, who like some things about Walker but not others, whose votes will determine whether he wins re-election and is able to make a serious run for president.
