Betting Big on Cuomo’s Memoir
N.Y. Governor’s Book Will Have an Initial Print Run of 200,000 Copies
July 10, 2014
(excerpt)
Will at least 200,000 people want to purchase New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s forthcoming memoir? His publisher, HarperCollins, is betting on it.
Mr. Cuomo’s book, “All Things Possible: Setbacks and Success in Politics and Life,” will have an initial print run of 200,000 copies, according to a spokeswoman for HarperCollins, which, like The Wall Street Journal, is owned by News Corp.
That is an exceptionally large first printing, though still one-fifth the size of the initial run for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s recent book, “Hard Choices,” which received a first printing of one million copies.
This is certainly going to cost Harper Collins again.
$700,000 + publishing cost (200,000 x $X) - (($18.33 (Amazon hard cover price) x 945 = $17,321.85)).
Does anyone know what the publishing cost is?
Then add that to the amount they lost on Hillary. Anyone want to guess that one?
Cuomo book loss + Hillary book loss = promotion to White House job!
That’s a huge print run, larger than any book I’ve ever had, including “Patriot’s History of the US” which was printed in different printings as demand rose.
