Our best estimate is that as of about 1:00 on Friday, Van Jones’ The Green Collar Economy is close, but still might be about 300-400 books away from reaching the New York Times bestsellers list by the midnight Friday deadline. We need your help.

Think about that! With almost no money and without a name like “Sarah Palin”, “Bill O’Reilly”, “Harry Potter”, or “Dewey the cat” in the title, we’re on the verge of making this book a New York Times bestseller. How? Magic.

Nope, not magic. With lots of friends telling friends telling friends about this book via email, phone, blogs, websites, and word of mouth, we reached #17 on Amazon on the book’s opening day (Tuesday 10/7). Not too shabby if you ask me.

Just think about what having a New York Times bestseller about green collar jobs and pathways out of poverty could do this close to the election..
