Eddie891, article is looking good. The Washington Post and article only state that Betty Ford and Rosalynn Carter outsold their husbands, I don't think we can call that "several", how about "some"? Also the publications without an ISBN need it adding for verifiability or, if not available, a source for their publication. Finally, I think some of the notes need sources? -

Yeah, may have been somewhat hasty on the DYK nom :) I'll clean up the table as soon as I get home from the Historical Society I'm at right now. If you check
First Lady Lit (cited in the lede), I see "Indeed, following Lady Bird’s lead, Rosalynn, Nancy and Barbara all outsold their husbands" which is, I think, enough to say 'several', but I'd be fine if you'd prefer 'some'. Gimme a couple of hours and I should have the article ship-shape. Cheers,

Dumelow, thanks for reviewing, I added identifiers (OCLCs where ISBNs didn't exist) to every book, cited all the notes. What do you think about my comment above wrt "some"? I've also supplied a QPQ.

Hi
Eddie891, thanks for adding the identifiers and cites to the list. I've mentioned Bush in the sentence about outselling their husbands and am more that happy that Bush, Carter, Johnson and Ford are enough for "several". Prose has been expanded more than 5x from 20 November and a QPQ supplied -
