The current media coverage over the tanking of Gawker’s Guide to Conquering all Media is actually improving sales. Zubin Jelveh notes on Portfolio that Gawker may have sold a whopping 12 extra copies as a result of Jeff Bercovici’s post. I’m sure the irony is not lost on anyone, and as this project begins to hemorrhage all I can think of is the last national geographic special I saw. Gawker’s progeny is weak and limping along, and soon we’ll see the predatory journalists begin to take bites out of it till the poor book, mewling and bleeding from a thousand wounds, finally succumbs and falls prey to the jackals.

Here's what I'm confused about: why is there no publicity for this book? I'm pretty much the prime demographic, and I haven't encountered the book at all--no magazine reviews, television interviews, or blog mentions (other than Gawker, which, duh, I read every day).
Am I missing something? This seems like the type of book that basically gets itself coverage, at least in certain circles.
