Hillary Clinton's Memoirs to Hit Stores 1 hour, 28 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - After laying out a seven-figure advance for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites)'s memoirs, her publishers are counting on seven-figure sales.
The account of her years in the White House will have a first printing of 1 million copies, her lawyer told The Associated Press. The 576-page book, entitled "Living History," is scheduled for release June 9. An audio version, read by Clinton, will be released the same day.
"Only a small handful of books have a 1-million-copy first printing, and I cannot think of another nonfiction book in recent history that has had that large a first printing," Robert Barnett, Clinton's lawyer, said Sunday.
The first lady-turned senator was paid an $8 million advance by Simon & Schuster. Foreign rights have already been sold in 16 countries, from South America to Europe to Asia.
The list price for the book, according to online seller amazon.com, is $28.
The book, which took two years to write, will be billed as a "complete and candid" accounting of her years in the White House, from the health care debate to impeachment to the launching of her own political campaign in 2000.

It won't earn back what it cost Hillary's ghost writer to produce it. And it'll leave out the juiciest details of her White House years...

The best they can hope for is to sell one hundred thousand of that million. Then that might take six months.

Wasn't it just two weeks ago we were reading how Hitlary hadn't even come up with a title? She certainly turned it out in a hurry.
