Shapiro’s Book Debuts On NYT Bestseller List

Arlington, Va. – First-time author Gary Shapiro,
president/CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), has a best seller.

His book that debuted during
International CES,

The
Comeback: How Innovation Will Restore the American Dream

(Beaufort
Books) appeared as No. 7 on the

availability as an ebook and called this year’s CES “one of the most elaborate
book-launch parties in American history.”

In

The
Comeback,

Shapiro outlines how the federal government has lost its
way, and, in a critique of Washington, provides readers a blueprint to restore
the American dream.

“It is an honor to make the

New York Times

I believe this achievement reflects that Americans are frustrated with our
economic situation and are hungry for decisive action,” Shapiro said in a
statement. “My hope is that the positive feedback from readers and reviewers on
the need for a national strategic plan and specific ideas presented in

The Comeback

will translate into action and an innovation-focused national agenda.”
