Summit Books reprints The Best of Chico and Delamar’s The Morning Rush Top 10
Feb 22, 2012
“Just last month, The Best of Chico and Delamar’s The Morning Rush Top 10, a collection of over 100 of the popular RX 93.1 program’s craziest, naughtiest, and funniest Top 10 lists, snagged the second spot on National Book Store’s local bestseller lineup. This month, the compilation earns another coup as Summit Books orders a reprint to meet rising reader clamor nationwide!
“We’re thrilled that the show’s fans have been very supportive of the book, with readers even from all the way abroad getting their own copies,” Summit Books publisher Christine Ko says. “The demand for the book makes it clear that Chico and Delamar’s humor has a universal appeal among Pinoys.”
Summit Books has printed 15,000 more copies of The Best of Chico and Delamar’s The Morning Rush Top 10, in addition to the initial print run of 40,000. This brings the total print run up to 55,000 copies.
Summit Books released the bestselling compilation in December of last year to coincide with the 15th anniversary of The Morning Rush with Chico & Delamar, one of the longest-running FM radio shows in the country and a Best Comedy Program awardee at the 19th KBP Golden Dove Awards. Barely a month after its launch, the compilation rose to number two on both the National Book Store and Powerbooks local book charts.
The Best of Chico & Delamar’s The Morning Rush Top 10 is available in newsstands, bookstores, and supermarkets nationwide for only P175.”
Wow, thank you guys! Hopefully more reprints to come!
Congratulations Chico and Delle!
CORRECTION ….. the clamor is not only NATIONWIDE …. It’s WORLDWIDE!!! Maraming Pinoy’s abroad who listens to your show via live stream or downloads your podcast …. and I am sure for those unlucky ones na walang kamag-anak or friends that can send them the book … they are CLAMORING for COPIES!!!
So … congratulations to you and delamar … and ang tangi ko lang na masasabi ….. BOOK 2! BOOK 2! BOOK 2! With GINOBOI na this time!!! Woooooooohooooot!!!
Diiilamar!!!! =D
Wow. Talagang ibang level na ito! Congratulations C and D, and also G. =)
i’m the type of guy who doesn’t regret much but until i put down your book on a stall of a 711 store last december during our days off in pinas and not bought it. now, i envy those friends who have read, laughed out loud and raved how great (or classic? hehe!) your book is! kailan kayo mageexport dito sa penang malaysia?
I wanted to buy a copy last Sunday in NBS Trinoma but sadly, out of stock na daw.
too bad, i never got to any of your book signing. i couldn’t leave home during those 3 saturdays cause i might give birth anytime. sana may book signing ulit..
