‘Mein Kampf’ a favourite of Guardian readers?

I was browsing Guardian.co.uk, as one does. There was an interesting article on health inequalities which filled me with all sorts of leftie worries and concerns. But then I nearly choked on my fair trade muesli when I noticed the Guardian Bookshop advert on the side of the screen:

Search the Guardian bookshop

Yes, stuck there between Russian Court at Sea and the Jolly Phonics World Book is a book by a certain A. Hitler. How unexpected! Loonies in the comments of Harry’s Place will of course interpret this as proof that the Hamas-sympathising Guardian is written and read by Joo Haters. I’m sure there must be a more mundane explanation…
