How many books did Tookie sell

Posted on 12/15/2005 10:10:39 PM PST by airedale

I know this is a dead issue and I don't want to flog a dead horse, but I was wondering how many of the children's books that Tookie wrote were actually sold? I know there were 9 of them but not one media source ever said how many of them were sold.

Bless your compassionate soul. But no one said anything about 'beating a corpse' they said 'flogging a dead HORSE' :=)

Tookie is dead. Life is good. Murder never pays, so I must simply sing:

Took Took Tookie GOODBYE
Took Took Tooke DON'T CRY!
Muscles just don't cut it
You're a wannabe Mandela
Truth is that your scared sh@t
But HEY YOU ARE DEAD NOW!!!

OK, it doesn't rhyme, but it's true!

How about we let Tookie rest in peace. Anyone with the ability to take another life is a tortured soul, to say the least. There is no purpose in beating a corpse. He got the full measure of what he deserved.

Why should we?

His nitwit supporters (and the evil political institutions that use them) have already lifted his still warm corpse onto their standard as a rallying point for their cause. So long as it's up there, we have ever right, indeed an ethical obligation, to throw stones at it.

I suppose that 300 years in prison is effectively a life sentence.

Seriously? When the heck did that happen? And who was the idiot responsible?

So, any other candidates? I doubt I'll see as potentialy lucrative an opportunity to cash in on the bleeding heart nitwits as Tookie was, but I'm willing to speculate a little.

Don't let me stop you.... , but hey, that's a lot of work. All that pee'in and all. I'm surprised you'd want to part with it.

I heard that it was somewhere in the 300 to 350 range. There is not a big demand for books that have only one syllable words in them

The Publisher will no release the numbers but Joseph C. Phillips (Martin on the COSBY show) says one of Stanley's books sold 330 copies and another sold only 2 copies.

Betcha some enterprising publisher puts out a boxed "deluxe" set of Tookie books and makes a fortune selling to the moonbats.
