Other accounts include Barack Obama - Der schwarze Kennedy and The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama by Gwen Ifill about Obama and other active black politicians in the United States.

Obama's books were reported to be popular in China even after the election.[3] Obama and rival candidate John McCain were featured in comic books.[4] They were also featured in a pair of "dress-up" books.[5] There was also a plan to rush out a book on Obama's Portuguese Water Dog Bo titled Bo, America's Commander In Leash[6]
