now that I do, Im pretty shocked and amazed. But much less confused about whose side
the sitting administration will be on.
this is going to be some kind of entertaining.

this week alone, not including e-book copies. Book sales of hyped books usually drop after the first week -- that's expected.

The publisher knew it probably wouldn't make enough to cover the huge advance but it didn't care. It wanted the prestige of being her publisher.

NEW YORK — Hillary Rodham Clinton's book "Hard Choices" is on track to be one of the year's top nonfiction books despite another slip in sales.

Nielsen BookScan says "Hard Choices" sold 26,000 copies during its third week of publication.

Clinton's memoir about her years as secretary of state was published June 10 and sold more than 80,000 copies the first week and nearly 50,000 the second week. The numbers don't include e-book sales, which comprise around 30 percent of the overall market.

Should Hillary Clinton be the Democratic nominee for president in 2016, she most certainly has my vote. I'm just not going to shell out money to buy a book I don't need. That does not lessen her chance of becoming our next president.

Everyone is tired,
Tired of Iraq,
Tired of Afghanistan,
Tired of Benghazi,
Tired of Isreal, the Palistinians, etc.

Is anyone looking forward to reading more about those???

In fact I hope it does so well that she abandons this silly belief that she is in any way competent to be president of the United States.

She could make millions writing novels. Judging from her recent statements, she seems to have a knack for fiction.

From what I've heard and read it is selling relatively well. I'm happy for her. That doesn't mean I will necessarily vote for her in a primary for president.

we "should" know how book sales have been gamed.
What tickles me is seeing down turned up in the
alternate reality based community.
those people are excitable.
