Hillary Clinton's Memoirs to Hit Stores
Yahoo ^ | April 28, 2003

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.

Sounds like Al Gore's book, part two. Most sales will be in Hollywood and DC.

Don't forget the university towns, as all the Marxist professors will be putting the book on their reading lists.

Aside from the obvious problems with this book, what does this say about the recent gossip that he book wasn't even started and had no title?

I do love the title, however. Living History reminds me of the Living Constitution. It can always be modified and adapted to current needs.

I take it Limbaugh was right about Hillary waiting to see how the Iraq war turned out.

The title should be REVISIONIST HISTORY: HOW I WISH IT WAS

Anyway, isn't this the book that was in articles just last week where Hillary Rotten Clinton was arguing with her publisher over how much DIRT to include about Bill?

This should wind up in the bargain book heap quick. After all, why would anyone want to read a book by someone who never tells the truth?
