== Erroneous assertion that In God We Trust made the NYT best seller list ==


The statement in the current article that the book made the NYT best seller list -- at least at the time of its original publication in early fall 1966 -- is demonstrably false. I just checked every such list for 1966 -- which appeared in the ''Times''' book review section every Sunday -- and it is not there. Nor does the cited NYT obit of October 18, 1999, support the specific assertion. I am unable to locate a free copy of the cited ''Chicago Sun-Times'' article, though. Of course, since the foregoing is "original research," not otherwise appearing in a published source (to my knowledge), Wikipedia guidelines would likely preclude me from merely deleting the erroneous statement in the current article.

Erroneous assertion that In God We Trust made the NYT best seller list

[edit]

The statement in the current article that the book made the New York Times best seller list -- at least around the time of its original publication in early fall 1966 -- is demonstrably false. I just checked each NYT list for 1966 -- which appeared in the Times' book review section every Sunday -- and it is not there. Nor does the cited NYT obit of October 18, 1999, support the specific assertion. I am unable to locate a free copy of the cited Chicago Sun-Times article, though.
