A friend of mine has been trying to get a book deal for the past 5 years and he gets kinds of excuses "It won't sell - its not what we are looking for" Yet these same publishing companies have no problem burning tons of money for these wacko lib politicians. What is the point? If they are so eager to burn money like this then how about donating some of that to Wounded Warriors or St. Judes hospital for kids instead of giving millions to Hitlery or Evil eyes Cuomo so they can write a book that sells 2 copies?

The publishers pay out as protection money.

That’s a $740 book not even counting printing costs.

Maybe they’re $800.00 a copy?

What’s the Title?

How I caused the great financial melt-down of 2007?

Yeah, this stuff makes me sick. One of my books sold 55,000 copies and the publisher considered it a flop, because they over published.

I've never had a book go under 10,000 copies, most go over 20,000 and of course Patriot's History is over a quarter million---maybe 1/3 million copies and in its 20th printing!

Okay, so basically outside of his immediate family and his political appointees, three people bought the book. Only two people if you subtract the book given to de Blasio.

Bwahahahaha!.....

The book’s a hit. You just have to get the ratings category correct. On Amazon:

#1 in Books > Politics & Social Sciences > Politics & Government > Elections & Political Process > Leadership > Hacks > New York > Books by Andrew Cuomo

Just look and see how much money the modern buggy whip industry has coming in the back door from DNC connected sources.

Can y’all say ‘money laundering’? I knew you could!

The advance had nothing to do with projected sales. It was a payoff for being a good liberal.

They’re laundering money to potential Rat presidential candidates in the hope of cashing in later.

Eventually, all the public and academic libraries will buy up the stock, then the books will sit on the shelves for a year or two unread, then the libraries will sell them for a quarter each at their next booksale.
