Here’s an idea, for what it’s worth:
If the remainder books are going to be destroyed, why not make an offer to buy them at some low price (say, .50 per copy), and then use them as anti-Clinton election propaganda? You could give them away free with a cover note reading: “Do you really want the author of this book to be your President?” or something similar to that.
Just a thought. . . .
Remember how the Associated Press hired 11 fact checkers to review Sarah’s book??? Did they similarly hire fact checkers to analyze Hillary’s book???
This “Jim Wright method” of political corruption appears to have finally run it’s course.
I’d be satisfied if she was half of “dead broke”.
It was never a flop. The book was designed to cover up the bribe money she’s been taking. Money leaves a trail. Hillary is showing evidence of having lots of money. People are going to wonder how she got that rich.
“I received $16,000,000 for writing this book.”
The book has always been a smokescreen to cover for her taking bribes.
bump
There ya go.
The publisher had no expectation of actually selling these books; they wanted to stay on the good side of “President Clinton” in case there was (God save us all) another one.
bonfire?
This is a harbinger. She is going to flop too! We don wan no mo’ Clintons.
I predict the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation will buy up the remaining books to save face for Simon and Schuster and Hillary, so that it appears the print run was sold out. Then they will be shipped to some abandoned warehouse in a deserted industrial area in ravaged Detroit that the foundation buys to store the books. There will be an accidental fire set by some vagrants and the entire lot of remaining books will be destroyed and turned into ashes. The fire insurance will reimburse the foundation and no one is the wiser.
Either that, or the foundation will send the books to the poverty stricken areas of the world as a show of charity and the people who receive them will use them for firewood and the foundations gets good publicity and a tax write-off.
Problem solved the Clinton way, through lies, deceit and smoke and mirrors.
Hillary’s day is done. She will never be president or a senator or anything—too old, too played out. Sad really —in 2008 she would have been a better choice than Obama. I feel we would be in better shape with her than the Boy-Clown. She should just faid away!
I hear some $Democrats feel that the Clinton’s are not liberal enough for them. And that they can do the first woman president thing with someone more liberal such as Elizabeth Warren rather than Hillary.
it would be interesting to see how many of those you could give away in Democratic strongholds.
Royalties are paid to the author after he or she has earned back the advanced. Most authors don’t receive royalties because most advances don’t earn out. She’ll receive the full amount of the advance. It’s the way publishing works.
Reminds me of Marlon Brando’s Mutiny on the Bounty wrecking MGM!
Simon and Shuster: SO LONG,SUCKERS!
