I am curious, how low does the book have to fall before we know it is a dud. What level of sales would be considered a "failure" by the publisher and the media?

At what point will HRC realize she doesn't have enough support to make a run for the Whitehouse, that is the truly important question.

How can we track it?

How low does the book have to go before it is "considered" a dud. Well, right now copies are piled up like cordwood in books-a-million here in jacksonville fl. Even when it lands in the remainder bin at two bucks a pop they (cbsviacomsimonandshuster) will still be spewing out crap about this book. The statistics for this book are so hopelessly manipulated by these crooks that it can't be tracked.

I went to the bookstore last night with my son. they were practically rioting over the harry potter book. When I sarcastically asked about where the line for Hillary!'s book was, everyone laughed.

I think what is going on is that they dumped a quarter million copies on every bookstore in the country. Even if they are gathering dust in the back room waiting to be sent back they are counted as "sales". This is called "channel-stuffing" in the industry.

The statistics on actual sales will be secret, as will the returns and total press run, as well as copies never shipped by the publisher.

even amazon.com doesn't have it right. When you look at regional sales the book is nowhere to be found.

this is just a money-laundering/influence-peddling scheme cooked up by hillary!cbsviacomsimonandshusterdemocraticparty
