Kate Gosselin's latest book isn't exactly flying off the shelves.
Since its April 13 release, "I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith, and Family" has sold just 10,084 copies, according to national book sales tracker Bookscan. The non-fiction title debuted at #11 on the New York Times' non fiction bestseller list, and at #103 on USA Today's bestsellers chart. By Thursday afternoon, its Amazon.com rank was #862.
This is in spite of Gosselin's relentless promotion of the tome on TV and radio -- plus her ubiquitous presence on Dancing with the Stars prior to her ouster last week.
Jim Milliot, business and news director of book-industry magazine Publishers Weekly, tells UsMagazine.com that the numbers "nowhere near a blockbuster" and "not that impressive."
By contrast, the 35-year-old mom's first two books, "Multiple Blessings" and "Eight Little Faces", both climbed to number five on the New York Times' list; "Multiple Blessings" sold 523,000 copies in 2009.

Good.
It was never about you, Kate. We just liked the kids. Get over yourself
If any of the twins and quads team up like the Olsen towns, now worth hundreds of millions, mom and dad could end their days in a gated community. :-}
Olsen twins.. oops. :-)
Who are the 10083 idiots that bought a book from her?
Her kids.
What could this nobody possibly have to say that anyone.... never mind I lost interest.
who???
Those poor kids.
Former star of “Jon and Hate Times Eight.”
APf
I think her 15 minutes of fame are done.
Depending on what kind of contract she had it may not matter if it’s a blockbuster or not. She could still make a ton of money, just like a professional athlete who doesn’t pan out in the bigs. Unfortunately for her tanking book sales will probably lead to tanking ratings for her show and hair extensions don’t come cheap. She had better start looking for a sugar daddy or it could be Kate and Eight in a 3-room flat.
Each one of her kids.
Yeah, like 14 minutes ago.
i don't have tv, so, if she's from tv, i'm lost...
I used to watch the show and i liked it for awhile but she treated her husband like total shit!!
And its unfair that he has been treated like an idiot since he left. She was a MONSTER.
Why should she get a talk show and books sold and tons of money and he gets crapped on?
Because Hollyweird has determined that all tv dads/males are either: gay, goofballs, ignorant, buffoons, klutzs, absent-minded, losers, adulterers, womanizers, etc, etc, etc....
