United Auto Workers buys 16,900 copies.
Teamsters Union buys 10,000 copies.
Goldman Sachs buys 100,500 copies.

Waterproof? Does it come with a little compartment where you put your weed?

Kennedy, 77, reportedly received an $8 million advance for the memoir that he wrote in collaboration with Ron Powers Hmmm. Whenever a Dem has a co-writer or a ghost writer the press never says "Too stupid to write a book. He/She's likely an illiterate."

Wow. "Electronically signed." This means it won't even be an actual signed edition.
The publisher must figure there are at least 1,000 Kennediots that will pay a grand to have something from the last and least of the Kennedy family generation that actually did something.

No, there apparently will be a regular hardbound edition in addition to the “limited” edition leather bound version. Still to make $8,000,000 smackers in authors royalties, at about 15% of cover price of $35, you gotta sell about 1,500,000 copies. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen. Even with paperback sales. Hope the publisher’s shareholders appreciate their dividends going to Hyannisport. (Ted probably had the editors over for a clambake and a cruise around Martha’s Vineyard.)

"they're forgetting that the book can be used as a flotation device."
Don't knock the unique packaging; it comes with a glow stick, whistle and breathalyzer.

Probably will wind up somewhere in the low thousands in popularity on Amazon.com but the NYT will hail it as a number one seller on their list ....

This is the only book about Ted Kennedy you will ever need, and it's available at Amazon for $6.19.

What does Ted need with eight million dollars when he’s nearly dead? Eight million dollars won’t buy Ted even an icecream cone in Hell.

“True Compass”?
Is that meant literally? If so, too bad he didn’t have one of those things in his car when he went off the bridge at Chappaquiddick.
Or is it meant metaphorically, suggesting that he steers a straight course morally? As in getting drunk every day, murdering his girlfriend, or helping to murder millions of innocent babies for convenience?
Just curious who thought up that title.

The title “True Compass” strikes me as a bit ironic, since it was taking the wrong turn down the dirt road that caused him to end up in the drink and the girl who was riding with him to drown.
To: rightwingintelligentsia
$1K and it only comes with an "electronic signature" of Teddy's drunken scribble?
