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.
