Who woulda thunk?
This is just funny....and ironic that she gipped out 14 million as she claimed she was in poverty just a short few years back.
Wow. Hillary has gone from being an author would could sell over a million, with Living History, to one who can’t crack 200,000 hardcover sales with her latest book. Wow. Just wow.
I expect she is still running for pres and will have strong support. But I think her bad book tour and slow sales show that there is not great excitement about the Clintons anymore. If there ever was.
No one has really addressed the issue of book payments vs. book advances. If they ‘advanced’ her $14M on predicted sales and they never materialize, she owes them the prorated difference.
If, on the other hand, they GAVE her the $14M, then it was criminal conspiracy to defraud stockholders (if it is a publicly traded company).
So COSTCO will be removing Hillary!’s book, right?
Origins: Political commentator Dinesh D’Souza was the focus of a publishing brouhaha in July 2014 when the Costco chain of warehouse discount stores, citing poor sales, pulled his book America: Imagine the World Without Her from their shelves just as a film based upon that work (America) was hitting theaters. Critics charged that Costco’s actions were politically motivated because D’Souza’s work is highly critical of President Barack Obama, with whom the Costco chain has significant friendly ties:
Costco has pulled from its stores a new book by virulent anti-Obama author Dinesh D’Souza, setting off a landslide of suspicion, criticism and racy innuendo from media voices on the right.
The co-founders of the Issaquah-based retail giant, Jim Sinegal and Jeffrey Brotman, both hosted the 44th president in 2012 for fundraisers in their homes. Both Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have visited Costco stores, and Sinegal spoke at the 2012 Democratic Convention.
The official reason for removal of the book is slow sales, a Costco official [said]. The book had reportedly sold 3,600 copies at Costco, 700 of them [the previous] week.
Costco’s response to inquiries about the issue has been to assert that their motivation for pulling D’Souza’s book from their shelves was based on sales rather than politics:
Costco is not influenced by political considerations in selecting product for sale in our warehouses or on Costco.com. This includes our selection of books. Our book buyers are solely interested in book sales, and do not favor any political persuasion over another. Recently, after deciding to sell the book “America: Imagine the World Without Her”, beginning on June 1, a decision was made to pull the book from sale on July 1. This decision was based solely on the number of copies sold during that month, and had nothing to do with the content of the book.
Costco is not a book store. Our book shelf space is very limited. We exercise discipline in the best utilization of that limited space based solely on what our members are buying. We can’t carry every title that our members are interested in reading. We are constantly monitoring book sales, and make decisions to pull books off the shelves frequently based on sales volume to make room for other titles. Politics or controversy over content do not influence our decisions.
By the end of the day on 8 July 2014, Costco began adding a paragraph to their standard customer response indicating that they had reversed their position and would be re-stocking D’Souza’s America: Imagine a World Without Her:
After we made the return, a documentary was released about the book. Since then there has been heightened interest by our membership base and brisk sales at locations still in stock. Therefore, we have made the decision to reorder the book.

She’s a has-been, and a phony baloney.
AP July 14, 2015. HEADLINE: Simon and Schuster Pay Record Advance
Simon and Schuster have paid a record advance of $20 million to Hillary Clinton for her new book “Easy Choice” which promises to answer the question on everyone’s mind: Why did she she decline to run for President when she could have almost danced her way through the 2016 election and into the Oval Office.
Was it because of Bill? Obama? Michelle? Ted Cruz?
...
Does she get to keep that “advance”? It’s probably more of a campaign contribution.
I have an idea!Why not get The Unions to “Buy” this piece of CRAP?They did it for”Fort Worthless Jim Wright”!Here’s another one!Instead of burning the bodies of”Murdered Infants”,they could burn these Pieces of CRAP!!There,TWO Good Ideas in One Day!!!I’m going to take a Break!!!!!!!!!!
I think most people have concluded that she is a Bitter Clinger (to Bill) who has no individual talent or charisma.
Hitlery’s crappy book is currently # 120 on Amazom’s best seller list while Dinish D’Souza’s “America” remains at #1.
This is nothing more than a campaign donation to Hillary for her 2016 run.
What a video photo-op that would make, if someone could figure out when the trucks will show up and where the books will be dumped.
Think of all those poor trees destroyed for nothing. Think of the damage to the environment caused by Hillary and Simon & Schuster.
Goodbye....would be POTUS Hillary Clinton....Hello, Grandmother Clinton!!!
She's loathed by half the country and barely tolerated by the other half.
Smoke signals on the horizon speak of a squaw rising in the east.
Her Heinous is SO 90’s.
“books that they will have to dispose of somehow”
Surely Hil would have insisted the books be printed on bio-degradable paper, so that they can be buried in the forest and the goddess Gaia will return them to the earth.
Barring that, how about the world’s largest weenie/marshmallow roast?
