News: Hillary's Newest Book Tanks, Sold Less Than 3K Copies

Hillary Clinton’s latest book is off to a pitiful start — selling a paltry 2,912 copies in its first week of release, a report shows.
Clinton’s new release, Stronger Together, which unveiled her vision for America should she become president, is “what the publishing industry would consider a flop,” according to The New York Times.

The Democrat nominee’s blueprint for America’s future is selling even worse than her last book, her 2015 memoir Hard Choices, which at least racked up 85,000 sales in its first week.

The Times notes that first-week sales often amount to as much as one third of total sales — which means Stronger Together‘s total sales figures may not ever equal Hard Choice‘s first week.

By July of 2014, Hillary’s Hard Choices had only sold 181,000 copies — which hardly justified the $14 million advance that publisher Simon & Schuster gave her.

What's considered good first week sales for a book?

Universal King

She's to busy plotting with the illuminati on winning the election. Stay mad

Don't be surprised; she will still rise. (This was her Rise.)

princedonte

It's not like she wrote it. I bet it was a House of Cards Thomas Yates situation.

Dessy Fenix

Of course people don't want to buy a boring book full of policies and agenda.

DivaCup

Never even knew she was coming out with a book.

ToMmY

It was a perfect illusion.

If she can't lead the charts, how can she lead the country?

Halien4Life

Pretty Lady

Bad promo, I didn't even know she had a book out.

The publishing industry guards its sales figures VERY closely. But her first memoir, Living History, sold 438,000 in its first week. Sarah Palin's Going Rogue sold about 500,000 in its first week. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all released million-plus selling memoirs. So this new book compares very poorly no matter what light is cast on it.
