Amazon Book best seller list, Comey, #16 & falling, McCain, (book not released until May 22nd) #22 & falling fast. So much for these two (soul brothers) in crime.
Bargain Book Shelf.....here we come.
Comeys book is for sale at BJs right now.
Price marked is $16.87.
These books are not meant to become leather-bound, gold trimmed volumes that might reside in Orson Welles’ library, to be read while he sips fine single-malt scotch. Posthumously.
They are meant to make the publisher $500K-$1 MM and James Comey $3-4 million before being hauled off to the dump. In that respect I would imagine Comey’s book to be entirely successful.
Is there a particular reason you feel that every little thought that comes into your head needs it’s own vanity thread?
I’m thinking you have some kind of disorder.
Question — if these books are just meant to make some money, for both writer and publisher, where does that money come from?
I don’t know about the book business. I was thinking that someone, somewhere, has to buy these books, to generate revenue to have any earnings.
Yes...because I cannot stand John McCain or James Comey. I am not asking you to love or hate either of these folks...that’s your choice. Remember the USA is a free country with free speech allowed.
Well, didn’t buy either one and looking forward to NOT buying oberstormfurher Hogg’s anti-2nd amendment fire starter as well.
Comey sold 600,000 the first week out.
That’s a huge number (of Leftist readers) for any writer.
So far, news stories say, the idiot Michael Wolffe sold fewer at the start but is up to two million copies sold now.
There are lots of enemies of the U.S.A. out there.
That makes you post vanity threads every day?
I am not asking you to love or hate either of these folks...thats your choice.
How about if I just object to your daily vanity posts?
Remember the USA is a free country with free speech allowed.
Yeah, let's all remember that.
It has nothing to do with posting vanity threads on somebody's website.
You're just looking for attention and you write like a moron.
Sir.....have a good, great day. There will be no more dialogue with you. Case closed!!!
Hasn't been any YET.
Look at your endless history of mindless vanity threads:

You should be tarred and feathered.
There’s a coffee shop/book store at a NC beach we frequent I call “Commie Coffee”. As you walk in there’s a shelf of books that is the 1st thing you see. He always has some liberal horse sh** book he features.
He had 4 copies of the Comey book last time I was there. These feature books always bite the dust. I always turn the books around. He’s never caught me. Childish but I enjoy it.
That seems like an odd question. It comes from people buying the book. The publisher has a projection of how many books they think they can sell. They have an idea of what they can offer as a cover price. They have an understanding of what the discounted, Amazon price will be. And they decide that they will sell 750000 books with a cover price of $37.50 with an actual real price of $19.50 so that’s three-quarters of about 15 million for about 11 million dollars and they’ll pay Comey whatever an appropriate Advance would be, make their money and have enough to promote the book. Comey will agree to do a dog-and-pony Roadshow, maybe they will do some radio ads. I am just making up the numbers but it’s kind of like baking a cake , they know pretty well what they’re going to sell, they know pretty much what it’s going to cost and they just crank it through the machine like it’s a bunch of meat and spices and end up with sausages at the end.
I would gladly take Comey’s sales for all but 3 of my books.
In just four hours time, James Comey’s book fell down to #18 and John McCain’s failed book has fallen to #22 on the Amazon.com Bestsellers List of Books, before it was even released for sale. So much for Comey and so much for McCain.
