Bullshit Sells Well

May 18 2005

The surprise bestseller On Bullshit by Princeton philosophy professor, Harry G Frankfurt, continues to sell well. It was first published, under a different title, in the American Scholar in 1986; but was published with its current, and undoubtedly catchier, title in February this year with a 5,000 print run. With 170,000 copies now in print this 67 page book is Princeton University Press' fastest-selling book in its 100-year history!
