I'm insulted. It is for me these days. :o)
No experience with this issue. But if he paid with a credit card, just call the credit card company to dispute the charge. At the very least, you’ll get a refund.
I have heard similar tales about Romney and Santorrum, but to Santorumn’s credit he eventually followed through on the merchandise.
Never make a hero out of a politician. Or a pundit.
I had the same experience with Herman Cain. It had not been delivered even after he dropped out of the race. They offered me my money back, and I took it.
Consider disputing it on your credit card.
I doubt the congresswoman has any control over the publication and distribution of these books. A publication company like Premier Collectables probably paid her to autograph a lot of books and they turn around and sell them to the public. She is out of the distribution loop completely.
I will tell you, autographed Congressional books usually go for well under $100. Santorum’s is going for $22. Even Dick Cheney’s is only going for $35. Over $100 usually is reserved for Presidents or someone who has died.

I was going to guess that perhaps it is out of print but that is not the issue.
It is readily available for $19.95
I would tell Michelle to stick it.

Most if not all candidate funding or merchandising gets done through companies specializing in those fields. Rarely does that candidate have direct control over what goes on. Sometimes both the candidate and their supporters get ripped off. Best to use a credit card.
I am embarrassed for Michele. It is ignorance or fraud to have the ability to take in money and sell stuff, but fail to deliver anything in return.
There are a few testimonies, on FR, against Romney for similar reasons in reverse. Their checks get cashed alright, but offers to volunteer their time or free services warranted not even an acknowledgment.
No offense M.E. But why would you want an autobiography of Michele Bachmann? I can’t imagine a more boring book.

I like Michele Bachmann's conservative record. She is a very good Congresswoman. However, Michele Bachmann's ill-advised run for POTUS was truly a major obstruction to nominating a non-Romney conservative in the 2012 GOP primary. Mitt had to love Michele's 'not ready for prime time' campaign as it diluted support from other more realistic competitors. She also was the first to launch meaningless attacks on other conservatives (but not Mitt) in a vain attempt to stay relevant in the campaign. She was shrill, overplayed meaningless differences and was as responsible as any of the candidates for leaving us with Romney. IMHO.
Then shut up. For too many in this economy it's 17.5 hours work *if* they can get scheduled that many hours in a week.
I’ve heard that was the #1 most common complaint of people living in her district. While she’s out making speeches and running for higher office, you can’t get her staff to respond to basic requests for help on relevant issues.
It isn't? This country boy still bends down to pick pennies up from the ground.
I do sympathize about the (seeming) deadbeat not making good on the commitment, though.
