Mary Cheney's book sells fewer than 6,000 copies since release

Despite saturation media coverage when it was published a month ago, Mary Cheney's book Now It's My Turn has tanked at bookstores. Published by a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster, the memoir has sold fewer than 6,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen Bookscan.

The book's sales have declined in each of the four weeks since its release, to only 574 copies sold for the week ending June 3. That's 77% fewer than its first-week sales of 2,445.

At this rate, it will be virtually impossible for Simon & Schuster to recoup the reported $1 million advance it paid Cheney for the book, which describes her life as the gay daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney. (The Advocate)


note:
I'm not sure who they thought would buy the book. Fundies hate her because she's gay. Liberals hate her because she's a hypocrite.

we could all buy a copy and burn them. Uh-Oh, here comes another Constitutional Amendment.

:eyes:

it was funny to hear her spout the usual Rep. talking points about protecting America while she talked her way around Bush's pushing the Marriage Protection amendment and how he still "really respected" gay people. I sure hope someone called her on that. I would have called in to rant at her if I'd had more time.

she did say that the people who seem to come to her book signings are parents - who apparently identify with her parents acceptance of her choices - she made another big point about how her parents did not support the MPA - why do I find that hard to believe?

So is writing this book a better way to make money than investing in Halliburton like her father did?

of a piece of old wood who has accomplished nothing on her own sounds fascinating. I can't imagine why it isn't selling.:sarcasm:

They sold more tickets to a single concert, than mary mary quite contrary sold of her entire book.

It's like she left one closet and entered another.
