Glenn Beck may have lost his appendix. And a dispute over this domain name. But his books are selling like American flags on “9/12.”

Simon & Schuster says that Beck’s latest book, “The Christmas Sweater: A Picture Book” will debut at #1 on the New York Times children's picture book bestseller list on November 15th, giving the controversial Fox News host five consecutive #1 New York Times bestsellers.
