The New York senator will sign 900 copies of "Living History" -- a memoir of her years in the White House.

Some fans started lining up late Sunday night at Warwick's Bookstore in La Jolla to ensure their chance of meeting the former first lady. By early Monday morning, the line of hundreds of people snaked around the building.

Publishers say that the book has sold at least 1.2 million copies since being released about seven weeks ago.

During her book signing tour, Clinton has personally signed over 20,000 books, according to 10News.

Clinton Book Signing Warwick's Bookstore 7812 Girard Ave. 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Am I the only person who sees a parallel with Mein Kamph here?

You know that no more than one in a hundred of these buyers is actually going to read more than a fraction of this thing. So why are they buying it?

This is making me decidedly uneasy.

"hundreds?" I was listening to the radio this am and it was reported that there were maybe "50" people in line overnight to get suckered into paying full boat for a book that was ghostwritten and hardly "nonfiction"...just like P.T. Barnum use to say "there's a sucker born every minute" unfortunately for the parasitic Klinton, there weren't hardly that many suckers in SD!

Maybe they included in the count the regular patrons trying to get around the small group of losers.

My local AM radio news reported protests outside - from both sides. I suspect a few FReepers showed up. I did get to hear some Kool-aid drinkers SHOUTING, "HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!"

Yikes...

Freepers were indeed there! On sean Hannity's radio show a few minutes ago, a lady caller informed Hannity that many ProLife, Freepers, and many others showed up! Evidently Hitlerys supporters came over and spat on them, tore up signs, and physically assaulted some...the cops didt't want to do anything about it untill the Freepers side forced the attending PD sargeant to make some arrests...according to the radio report...

Alright! I didn't see any of that mentioned in the after FReep report, except for the caller on Sean Hannity. Sounds like it's getting a bit hot in Hillaryland.
