This is why there was so much pressure to boost the first week’s numbers - in publishing sales, each week is a scaled-down version of the week before.
So if x books were sold the first week, week 2 is 50% of that, week 3 is 50% of week 2, etc. (This is the rough rule-of-thumb for unexceptional books - exceptional ones obviously have more staying power). Adding it up, Hillary’s book will be lucky to break 200,000.
Plus, knowing the sales pattern, any attempt by Hillary’s minions to buy up vast quantities to boost sales now will look highly suspicious.
Clinton Liebrary probably bought half of those.
