''The Selling of the President 1968'' is a non-fiction book written by American author Joe McGinniss and published by Trident Press in October, 1969. The book describes the marketing of Richard Nixon during the 1968 presidential campaign. It has been described as "a classic of political journalism"〔( "Palin's new neighbor turns out to be a legendary journalist" ) ''The Washington Post,'' May 25, 2010. Retrieved 2010-12-09.〕 and a "classic of campaign reporting that first introduced many readers to the stage-managed world of political theater."〔 It was reprinted in 1988 under the title ''The Selling of the President''. McGinniss became an overnight success when the book, his first, landed on The New York Times bestseller list. He was 26 years old, making him the youngest living writer with that achievement. The book was on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list for 31 weeks from October 1969 to May 1970.〔( "TBR Inside the List, McGinniss's Campaign" ) ''The New York Times'', December 16, 2007. Retrieved 2010-12-09.〕 The idea for the book came to McGinniss almost serendipitously:
The book was very well received by both critics and the public. It "spent more than six months on best-sellers lists, and McGinniss sold a lot of those books through television, appearing on the titular shows of Merv Griffin, David Frost and Dick Cavett, among others."〔 Conservative writer William F. Buckley "assumed McGinniss had relied on 'an elaborate deception which has brought joy and hope to the Nixon-haters.' But even Buckley liked the book."〔 In 1972, the book was adapted into a short-lived Broadway musical.〔(The Selling of the President ) The Internet Broadway Database.
