would I buy that piece of tripe. Not even for the laugh value, which I'm sure would be somewhat hilarious but then again, I know good and well it would simply make me angrier than I already am.

Hillary may hope to run again,

@Fishtroller 02
but I think she'd be running on empty if she did. Seems to me that a significant proportion of her 2016 "support" came from people voted "anybody but Trump" -- and not enough of them actually approved of Hillary very much. She's full of herself and full of hot air, and she still gets herself into the headlines, but I don't believe she is at all popular any more... if she ever was. I think Kamala Harris is clearly the one to watch out for -- she is tailor-made for the role of Democratic savior.

Not to rain on anyone's schadenfreude

But preorder discounts like this are pretty standard for big booksellers like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million, etc. I wouldn't read anything special into it. I can predict with confidence it will be on the discount/remainder table soon enough though. These type of books tend to have a pretty short lifespan with rare exceptions. It'll be clogging up Goodwills and used book stores for years to come.

What will be interesting to me is if it makes the New York Times Best Sellers list with or without the telltale dagger that indicates there was bulk buying involved to buy it a spot on the charts. I don't follow that world as much as I used to, but I assume that's a thing that still goes on.

Oh yes, used bookstores have excess copies of many books

@blue drop

You as a customer won't see them on the shelves, of course, but certain titles come in by the dozens, and end up in the drek pile (i.e., trash). From my days working in a large used bookstore, two titles I remember clearly from the "never buy" list were Bill Cosby's Fatherhood, and the novel The Thorn Birds. For some reason, we had at least 100 copies of each of those books in our warehouse already. Still people left them, and we had to toss them out daily. Oy. There were others too but I can't think of them off the top of my head anymore.

Hillary's new book will be worthless in hardback as a used book within a very short time. Everyone in her diehard fan club will already have it, and no one else will ever buy this doorstop. Used bookstores will drek a lot of copies.

Submitted by Dr. John Carpenter on Wed, 09/06/2017 - 5:44am

We had a dumpster out back

@CS in AZ @blue drop When I worked at a larger used book store, it wasn't uncommon for Seabuscuit, Breakfast with Morrie and any number of political books more than a year old to end up right there If they came in as part of a buy. Smaller stores might not have the space for multiple copies, but for instance one of my duties was to prune the Steven King section and make sure we had no more than five or so of any given title.

Canary in a coalmine in Sept '16 of Her's book first week sales

@Dr. John Carpenter
In massive understatement, NY Times ran with this headline that "Sales of Hillary Clinton’s New Book Are Off to a Slow Start"

But inside were all the gory details of what that meant relative to other similar books.

Hillary Clinton’s newest book, “Stronger Together,” which provides a policy blueprint for where she hopes to take the country if she is elected president, sold just 2,912 copies in its first week on sale, according to Nielsen BookScan.

Both Mrs. Clinton and her running mate, Senator Tim Kaine, have promoted the book on the campaign trail, but the sales figure, which tallies about 80 percent of booksellers nationwide and does not include e-books, firmly makes the book what the publishing industry would consider a flop....

In February 2008, when Mr. Obama’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination against Mrs. Clinton gained momentum, the book averaged sales of more than 35,000 a week.

Others cash in after an election. Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue: An American Life” sold 469,000 copies in its first week in November 2009.

“Stronger Together,” whose cover shows Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Kaine waving, arrived closer to Election Day than most of these types of books.

Close to election day or not, people were obviously just not interested in or invested enough in Her™. Just as they couldn't be bothered to turn up to her embarrassingly paltry public campaign events. There were so many telltale signs that she was in deep trouble. But the willful arrogance, entitlement and hubris prevailed.

Can anything be more of an out about her disgusting motives, than her "team" again concocting yet more money-making schemes in the way of sleazy "VIP" access and admission prices, just to fucking meet this pathetic 1% money whore? She is nauseating on so many levels.

"That's what they offered."

She'll never learn her lesson.

Should have been disqualified immediately after she took all those quarter million dollar "speeches" to Goldman Sachs while the big machinery behind her was preparing for her run. But not in the Neoliberal world. They all aspire to such craven greed and hoping they'll join the Big Club.

What they have forgotten

is that this didn't last:

The Clintons left us a surplus and a booming economy (23 million new jobs, 7 million fewer living in poverty, minimum wage up 20%). President Bill Clinton balanced the budget 4-times because he was a great negotiator and a true pragmatist. These days, however, both the far-left and the far-right hate pragmatists.

Because of the policies that Bill passed, the economy came crashing down during the Bush administration.
And so many of his economic policies still have an effect on us today.
Welfare reform, the crime bill, deregulation and other legislation.

This is why I didn't want them anywhere near the WH again.

How pragmatic to gut what's left of a social safety net that does indeed drive much of our entire economy? How "pragmatic" that America incarcerates more people per capita than all other countries except for maybe Russia? And I think that last is a big maybe too. Pragmatic.

Hillary Clinton Book Tour Making Few California Stops

Made bold the dates, in case anyone wants to go. If I could afford it I'd try to get to S.F. and tell her off to her face.
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/08/28/hillary-clinton-what-happened-book-tour-uc-davis/

The former presidential nominee will hold a live appearance at the University of California, Davis on October 9th. Clinton is scheduled to make a book signing at Books Inc. in San Francisco on October 6th.

According to the California Secretary of State, Clinton defeated Trump by 4.27 million votes in the Golden State last fall and won all Bay Area counties by double digits. During the campaign, Clinton made several trips to California to fundraise.

Clinton plans to visit Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin during the tour, three states in the so-called “blue wall” that Barack Obama won twice but went to Trump in 2016.

Yep! PU stinks like already running for 2020. Please clap? How many new books did Bernie sell? I don't know. Billionaires run the operation here, not the suits and pantsuits on TV, those are their puppets.
