Can't imagine Ronald Reagan extorting his supporters to purchase a book of his child's before one could purchase one of his or have him sign one.
Reagan was the type to meet with a group of blind children whilst he was campaigning. What was unique was that he and his team purposely tricked the press into not knowing about the event.
The Palin's would have had the world's media there plus Tammy Bruce tweeting about it.

It was only fair for Bristol that if someone wanted their copy of Sarah's book signed, while she was there, they should have to buy one of Bristol's as well. There was no extortion; they didn't have to be there, or get their books signed. Out of simple courtesy, they SHOULD have bought one of Bristol's, if they presented themselves in line to have Sarah sign hers for them.
