Is there anyone in publishing who can say, for a typical book deal with a politician like Comey, what 600K in sales means in terms of earnings for him?

There was a caller on Rush’s show last week. He said he submitted a review of Comey’s book and his review was not listed. He said Amazon was only listing 4 or 5 star reviews. Rush’s staff tried to submit 1,2 and 3 star reviews and they were rejected. So yeah, Amazon is fixing the reviews.

Remember that many of these are shelf-sales by places like B&N to get books on the shelf. I wonder what the e-book/print purchase ratio is.

Bezos probably bought 300,000 copies just for Amazon.

That helps keeps it at the top of Amazons Best Sellers

I’m thinking many ordered it a while back, including the media. They’re likely regretting it now, since it’s not the silver impeachment bullet they thought it would be.

Publishers usually base their “sales” number on shipments to retailers and libraries. Retailers usually have the right to return unsold books for a refund. So, this number is subject to easy manipulation. And publishers almost never publicly reveal the number of returns for refund.

Harry Potter, another book of fantasy, sold more. Comey needs to learn how to write better fiction. Perhaps J.K. Rowling can give him some pointers.

Doubt it. Is this like Hillary’s Takes a Village book?

Either that or like Bill's "It Takes a Spillage" book.

Not sure. I have a suggestion where he can shove them ...er, I mean store them).

Notice that Soros wants to travel. Look under his eyes-—those bags are packed.
