The publishers of Chadwick Moore’s new book about Tucker Carlson, “Tucker: The Biography,” released Aug. 1, has charged Amazon with purposely under-reporting its sales of the book to make it appear like a “flop.”

“The New York Times unsurprisingly totally excluded the book in spite of the fact that Tucker sold 50% more than [their] #2 nonfiction hardcover and just 150 units behind their #1!” the publisher said in the same release.

Meanwhile, the demand for “Tucker” has been so great that All Seasons Press announced Aug. 16 that it had “already ordered a second printing.”

City Journal reported Aug. 22 on another facet of the “Tucker” book saga: “Amazon fulfilled post-publication orders before shipping books to customers who’d preordered Tucker. And after describing the book as ‘Sold Out,’ Amazon didn’t order more copies from the publisher; on the contrary – and quite incredibly – it ’emailed many preorder customers to ask if they wanted to cancel their orders,’ and required them ‘to go on a desktop, not the app, and proactively confirm they still wanted the book or the order would automatically cancel.'”

“Our customer poll revealed 40% of Amazon customers who had pre-ordered Tucker, many as far back as May, had not received their copies ten days after launch. Amazon sales are not reported until a customer’s credit card is charged and the order ships, so the BookScan number does not reflect a significant number of Amazon pre-orders,” All Seasons Press’ Aug. 16 statement states.

Back when he was Fox News’ most popular host, Carlson ripped the New York Times precisely for the same “dishonesty” of skewing its book sellers list:

We're seeing collusion between major parties with absolutely no consequences. You now are at the whim of retards who will do everything they can to destroy your work and lie about you because they know they can get away with it.

In a normal world he could sue them to oblivion but we all know that won't work.
