====''America: Imagine the World Without Her''==== D'Souza wrote the book ''America: Imagine the World Without Her'' on which his [[America: Imagine the World Without Her|2014 film of the same]] name is based. When the warehouse club [[Costco]] pulled the book from its shelves shortly before the film's release, conservative media and fans on social media criticized the move. Costco said it pulled the book due to low sales. D'Souza disputed the explanation, saying the book had only been out a few weeks and had surged to No. 1 on [[Amazon.com]], while Costco stocked hundreds of much lower-selling books. He and other conservatives asserted it was pulled because one of Costco's co-founders, [[James Sinegal]], supported Obama's politics.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.christianpost.com/news/dinesh-dsouza-says-costcos-decision-to-pull-his-book-from-stores-was-political-123006|title=Dinesh D'Souza Says Costco's Decision to Pull His Book From Stores Was Political|last1=Barnhart|first1=Melissa|date=July 9, 2014|work=[[The Christian Post]]|access-date=November 6, 2014|archive-date=January 21, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150121042939/http://www.christianpost.com/news/dinesh-dsouza-says-costcos-decision-to-pull-his-book-from-stores-was-political-123006/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2014/07/08/costco-pulls-book-by-anti-obama-author-dinesh-dsouza-from-its-stores|title=Costco pulls book by anti-Obama author Dinesh D'Souza from its stores|last=Connelly|first=Joel|date=July 8, 2014|work=[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]|access-date=November 6, 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141205175442/http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2014/07/08/costco-pulls-book-by-anti-obama-author-dinesh-dsouza-from-its-stores/|archive-date=December 5, 2014}}</ref> Costco reordered the book and cited the documentary's release and related interest for the reorder.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/9/costco-re-stock-dinesh-dsouzas-america-after-publi|title=Costco caves: Dinesh D'Souza's book to be re-stocked after public outcry|last=Chasmar|first=Jessica|date=July 9, 2014|work=[[The Washington Times]]|access-date=November 6, 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141008014930/http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/9/costco-re-stock-dinesh-dsouzas-america-after-publi/|archive-date=October 8, 2014}}</ref>
