Mitt Romney boosted sales of his book this spring by asking institutions to buy thousands of copies in exchange for his speeches, according to a document obtained by POLITICO.
Romney's book tour ran from early March to late May of this year, and took him to book stores, universities, conferences, and private groups around the country. Their giant purchases helped his book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, debut on top of the New York Times bestseller list, though with an asterisk indicating bulk purchases.

PHONY!!! I remember when Mr. Fake was hocking his book and Freepers noticed the "bulk sales" asterik on the bestselling lists.

This reminds me of Tom Foley's book he used to launder his bribes that was filled with blank pages.

So? They were distributed at his events.
I bought both the audio and the e-book verions.
A good pure policy book by the way.

Romney spoke at the university where I’m employed. For weeks after, the bookstore had a table of his books for free. Just take one.

The truth is out on Romney..
If Massachusetts voters like you there IS something Wrong with YOU...
You have ten foot pole marks all over you...
Massachusetts voters love Ed "the swimmer" Kennedy, Barney Frank, and Monsieur Kerry.. that got 3 purple hearts during his 3 months in Vietnam.. Its no mystery that Barney SUCKS.. And Kennedy is still guilty of cowardice and murder..
There is something definitely wrong with the people of Massachusetts, it appears..

Yep---we all knew that this was how Romney was trying to boost his book's numbers against Going Rogue.

I bought both the audio and the e-book verions. Did Romney actually do his own reading?
To: Virginia Ridgerunner
Yes, he most certainly did do his own reading on the audio version of his book.
