New cover for paperback edition |
Here is what the Liberal world was saying back in 2010. They have long since stopped talking trash on Palin's second book:
Keith Olbermann
was kind enough to update us all about just how badly Sarah Palin’s second book
has bombed, “The already soggy sales of Sarah Palin’s “America By Heart” just
got soggier. Publishing sources confirm that at a time when 43 of the 50
nonfiction best sellers saw sales jump on Nielsen book scan, what with
Christmas looming, Palin sold 29% fewer copies than the week before. 36,000
compared to 51,000. One of the other titles to sell less “Kardashian
Confidential.” Total sales through 3 weeks, 144,812. Total sales of “Going
Rogue,” 811,491. Even if the book as sold as many copies at Wal-Mart as it has
everywhere else combined, you’re looking at 70% of a print run sitting in
warehouses waiting to be returned to the publisher. Oops.”
It is amazing how few
books Palin managed to sell when she was not padding the sales numbers by buying the
books herself. As I wrote a couple of weeks ago, “$64,000 in books
may not seem like much, but when you consider that she paid the wholesale not
the retail price for each copy it adds up quickly. If we estimate that SarahPAC
paid $ 5 per book, Palin padded her sales with an additional 13,600 books.”
Editor's note: While all of the above may sound the alarm for Palin fans, the 2010 summary celebration for the Libs was premature, to say the least. Understand that while her first book sold 3.5 million copies and was the #1 non-fiction publication sold in 2010, after two years on the market, her second book, "America by Heart" has sold more than one million copies and made it to the #2 spot on the NYTimes list and Olbermann is long gone from MSNBC.
