That works out to a royalty payment of roughly $244 per book sold. By the way, the book is now selling on Amazon for $8.45.

Wow. News Corporation sure didn't get their money's worth here! On second thought, maybe they did.

Didn’t the Obama’s just lasso $60 million for their book deals?

Assuming that the total reported number of copies sold is accurate...I’m wondering where they found 3,200 people who were stupid enough to want to pay money for something Andrew Cuomo wrote.

I’m thinking pretty much the same way he made an $18 mil bonus directing HUD. BTW, wasn’t that what it cost to campaign for governor of New York?

There could be a very simple explanation to this.

Maybe the publisher, to get the book, had to offer money up front in large amounts and take a bigger residue on the book sales.

We’ll say he was offered $500K to publish through them and only received the rest based upon sales or other residuals like future books or per diem for signing trips. Don’t let them goad you into making the guess that it just by a percentage of sales to try to slander someone. We have no idea what his contract says and neither does the International Business Times who should know better than this. Lies.

Out of the 3,200 copies....you can figure NY libraries probably bought 10-percent of the copies. Maybe nationally...another 10-percent were bought. I would take a guess that private readers might have bought 40-percent of the group, and foundations swooped in to buy the remainder....which got dumped in some landfill later.

Most of these $500,000-plus contracts are the same way.

How Did NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo Make $783,000 In Royalties From A Book That Sold Only 3,200 Copies?

It's called money-laundering, and it's a fine political art.

Talk to Hillary about that.
She teaches doctorates on the subject.

If he's smart, he'll buy a million of them.....

It is called influence buying.
