Hillary Clinton's new book 'Hard Choices' is a 'bomb', according to a publishing source.

The former first lady's memoir - detailing her time as secretary of state under Obama - has sold just 60,000 hardcover copies and 24,000 e-books, the source told The Weekly Standard.

The results come after publisher Simon & Schuster's 'hoping and praying' that 150,000 print copies would be sold in the first week after the book went on sale on June 10, the source added.

'Between us, they are nervous at S&S,' the source said. 'Sales were well below expectations and the media was a disaster... It's a bomb, but it will be interesting to see how they spin it.'

I feel bad for her and Willy, you know, all those bills and being broke and what not...

“So 15% of the staff is going to get the boot thanks to Hillary.”

I have the perfect idea for a farewell gift for the staff.

The good news is that Dr.Ben Carson’s book is #1 on the NYT best smeller list for two weeks now...even though the press has blacked out coverage of his book, while covering that old Marxist hag like a blanket.

The liberals have moved on to Elizabeth Warren.

The poor destitute woman. How will she survive on only an 8 million dollar pittance. Can we take up donations for her? I don’t want her to have to stop buying wagu beef and flying private jets.

They will never have a lack of money....

Unless they spend more than they take.

I had heard that sales were good in terms of shipments from publisher to retailers. But sales to actual retail customers are very bad.

Publisher >> retailer = a stock delivery, NOT a sale (they're delivered on a consignment basis)

... until someone actually pays for the book with real money, it's not a sale

Will everyone else here who has been thrown-out the door of your job with just 15 minutes to fill a cardboard box raise their hands?

LOL! Well played!

maybe a nude photo or two of the Klintoons
would have helped sales.

Perhaps at The Helen Keller Institute.

I was evil. I gave it 5 stars on Amazon, calling it an amazing tour-de-force of Epic Fantasy. See the REAL “Game of Thrones”. . .

Who would buy a book by a shriveled up old marxist America-hating hag?
A bunch of frustrated man-hating feminazis?

A bunch of frustrated man-hating feminazis?

No, they're on board with Lizzie Warren....
