Publisher printing more copies of George Orwell's '1984' after spike in demand

[grnidone]

The book publisher Penguin is printing more copies of George Orwell's dystopian classic "1984" in response to a sudden surge of demand.

On Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning the book was #1 on Amazon's computer-generated list of best-selling books. The list reflects hourly book sales.

The 68-year-old novel appeared on the list on Monday, hovered around the #6 spot for much of the day, rose to #2 by Tuesday afternoon and then hit #1.

Lower down on Amazon's best sellers list are two other classic novels with similar themes: "It Can't Happen Here," by Sinclair Lewis, and "Brave New World," by Aldous Huxley.

Apparently, due to the new phrase "alternative facts" created by Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway.

Yeah I'm sure that exact phrase is the only/primary reason for increased 1984 book sales. /s
