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."

Most overrated woman in the world - what else could you expect.....
I seem to recall the revolting reason for Olson’s trip to LA was to be on Maher’s show.
I believe you are correct.
It’s a bomb alright an I.E.D .internal enemies device to corral the questions directed at the chameleon.
Run, Hillaryous, run.
Not that simple; in the past Hillary books have been bought wholesale by "friends of Hillary," and given away to labor union members and other supporting groups.
Wholesale; like tents of thousands of the time.
I expect a whistleblower to surface soon and create a scandal aimed at Hillary, distracting from Husssein's mounting woes.
Never a dull moment, with the flying monkeys...
FYI...Barbara Olson was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77 on her way to a taping of Politically Incorrect in Los Angeles, when it was flown into the Pentagon in the September 11 attacks.
And so the usual suspects must step forward: the well-heeled unions, the corporate heavies, the individual donors who will cough up the cash and donate the useless paper to a school for a tax writeoff, thence to the recycling plants.
Or not. Because if she isn't able to offer a quid pro quo, what's the point? If she's as irrelevant as she's starting to appear, you don't just give her money based on her being One Of Us - politics doesn't work like that. And if they don't, that bag Simon and Schuster is holding is starting to sag like an overtaxed paper sack full of wet, stinking garbage. Somebody has to be holding it when it breaks.

She was on a plane that hit the Pentagon. she was on a phone with her husband right before impact. She was a very intelligent lady, loved listening to her...
I live just 16 miles from the Shanksville area. we will always remember Flight #93
Good one
sorry...should have read all the posts before replying...time to shut down computer for me...
y’all have a great week...
She was dead broke after leaving the state department. /s
Simon and Shuster didn’t market Hillary’s book correctly. They should have called it ‘’Hillary Clinton’s 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse.’’
No biggie it was my bad! Like I said, my memory sucks thank you Lyme’s disease.
Do you actually have to have purchased the book to be able to review it on amazon?
If not, then though funny, such numbers are worse than meaningless.
Straight to the remainder bin in 5,4,3,2, ....
I called this out immediately starting four days ago. The book just simply never took off!!! Never made the #1 best seller spot on Amazon.com. Opened at #2, dropped to #3 and then dropped again, to #4. The Clinton book will be in the sale bin by the end of next week!!! Hillary Clinton is not only toast....she is burnt toast!!!
Hillary...say “Hello” to being a grandma, because for low life like you...that is all you are getting!!! The deaths of four Americans patroits in Benghazi is hanging around your neck, forever!!!
