Bernie Sanders’ books, released in 2015 and 2011, have not reached the numbers of Clinton, Carson, Trump, or Cruz, yet he remains ahead of Kasich and Rubio in terms of overall sales at 28,800 units sold compared to Kasich’s 21,000 and Rubio’s 17,500. Sanders’ most recent book Outsider in the White House (2015) also published around the time of the election book craze with Penguin Random House to little results, though he maintains momentum against Clinton in the polls.
So he claims 1.7 million from sales of 28,000, that’s a profit of about $60 per book going to Bernie.
