Publishing Source: Hillary Book a ‘Bomb’
by Daniel Halper
In an email this evening, a veteran publishing source calls the latest Hillary Clinton book, Hard Choices, a memoir of her State Department years, a “bomb.” The source is referring to the early but underwhelming sales figures.
“Between us, they are nervous at S&S [Simon & Schuster],” says the source, who gave permission for his email to be published. “Sales were well below expectations and the media was a disaster.”
According to this source, a Simon & Schuster insider, “They sold 60,000 hard covers first week and 24,000 ebooks.” The publishing house was “hoping and praying for 150,000 print first week.”
“The 60k represents a less than 10% sell thru based on what they shipped,” says the source.
I find myself so personally disappointed in Hillary.
Oh wait. Income. Discretionary cash. That’s right; nobody has any. The American Taxpayer’s own “hard choices.” Food, gas, or Hillary’s book.
Good point.

Doing less than projected in sales? Well, finally, some GOOD news in America!
And they paid her how much for an advance??? LOL
Snort! Also, I admire the “flattering” photographs of her you find and publish.
As I’ve said many times, only the best for my readers.

she got $14 million up front. the publishing house might consider it a bust, but she doesn’t. it never had any chance of selling enough to justify that advance. it was a bribe for future services or payment for past, perhaps both.
Or for future considerations to whatever publisher that was, and/or their PARENT company.

Who in Hell is that ugly bitch with all the wrinkles?
