In an email this evening, a veteran publishing source calls the latest Hillary Clinton book, Hard Choices, a memoir of her State Department years, a "bomb." The source is referring to the early but underwhelming sales figures.
"Between us, they are nervous at S&S [Simon & Schuster]," says the source, who gave permission for his email to be published. "Sales were well below expectations and the media was a disaster."
According to this source, a Simon & Schuster insider, "They sold 60,000 hard covers first week and 24,000 ebooks." The publishing house was "hoping and praying for 150,000 print first week."

If sales don’t pick up she’ll be dead broke again.
Advances are just that, advances on royalties. Must be repaid if royalties do not cover.
Ouch!!
The numbers were leaked by a simon and shuster employee because there will be layoffs. They’re pissed because its going to be a bloodbath.
Didn’t she get something like 14 million? Liberal elites - padding each others pockets...
“I wish Barbara Olson was still around to be able to do that”
She died in one of the 9-11 plane highjackings, didn’t she?
399 x 1 star only because Amazon doesn’t offer negative number reviews.
“If more of Hillary supporters could read”
What difference does it make!! ?
EDITOR: WHAT HAPPEN?
CONTROLLER: YOU SET UP US THE BOMB.
What if the laundering is not in straw purchases of books, but in giving her the advance?
I wonder if that would be considered legal or even ethical?
I wonder if someone could find the smoking gun regarding this theory if such exists?
Umm..Barbara Olsen died in the Shanksville plane on 9/11.
Yeesh, wotta brick.
Never fear. I’m sure there is a Union somewhere that will buy them and give them out as Christmas...err...I mean holiday gifts.
Not quite. She was in the plane that struck the Pentagon. Not that it makes much of a difference but wanted to set the record straight.
I saw your post, my memory sucks! I thought she went down in PA.
Jim Corbett's "Man-Eaters of Kumaon" is a much better read too. It has been translated into 27 languages, think that will ever happen to Hillery's screed?
Unfortunately, yes, she was on AA77 that hit the pentagon.
Hillary $hyster”d Simon & Schuster out of 14 large-—but their stupidity deserved it. They’ll be handing out free copies at the DNC Convention, ehehehehe.
Mrs. Olson is no longer with us, she was one of the victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks, she was on one of the jets :( (she was also a FReeper)
R.I.P. Mrs. Olson
Barbara Olson was aboard the Pentagon plane.
