I'm just curious, and apologize if this thought has been discussed/discredited on another thread related to Mrs. Clinton's upcoming book, but... would it be worth considering going to bookstores and taking all the copies of Mrs. Clinton's book and scattering them in various sections of the store, behind other titles, where they will remain hidden and unsold? How about setting up a rotation sale. Go into the store and buy all copies of the book. After 13 days (if the store has a 14 day return policy) return them for full credit. Send in your accomplice on day 14 and do the same thing. If everyone around the country did this, it would accomplish two things. Simon and Shuster would think sales were going through the roof and order a second printing, incurring huge costs to produce books that will never sell. And secondly, the books would be off the shelves for a period of time sufficient for the general public to get the juicy parts from other media outlets, and hence, less likely to buy them when the rotation is finished.

Why waste your money? Even though Oprah will have it as a must read, and Katie Curic will push it, by December we can get it at our local Dollar store. Lets see how long it stays on the NYT best seller list, it ought to be interesting to watch.

Don't purchase her book between June 6-15th or so (not sure of exact dates) but like all Clinton "deals". The book is being released to get on the best sellers list. Don't let that happen because you bought it and KEPT it during that week.
