[O.C. - Old Cracker]

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 doesn't take but a few days to write a 700 page book if 650 pages are exhibits of government documents, transcripts of old speeches, newspaper clippings, and official White House photographs.

This IS good news...If stocked back in the corner near the employees bathroom, they should be able to drop prices across the board on all other publications with the savings from never again buying Charmin!

How many authors' publication announcements are made to the press by their attorney? Methinks we haven't heard the end of this yet.

How absolutely freaky.... they do! They look like

I might just might be able to dig up a three dollar bill.

No on second thought I wouldn't even give that, unless I
had an outhouse and would use the book for that.

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.

How can you be "complete and candid" when you cannot remember anything of any significance that happened?

[Humidston]

Bingo! Right on the money! (Pardon the pun)

[DennisR]

How much arrogancy does it require to write a 576-page book about oneself (Hillary) or an 800-page book about oneself (Sidney). Ah--the wonderful left. In their minds, there would be no purpose for the universe if it were not for them blessing the lives of the little people.
