Has Hillary's book of lies already peaked?

Looks like Hillary's book may have already peaked?

It's dropped from #2 to #3 sales rank on Amazon.com, and from #2 to #166 at bn.com.

Amazon still ranks it well ahead of Ann Coulter's new book Treason, but the Barnes & Noble site has them almost even.

My guess about this work of fiction is that its sales are largely due to media hype. Once that goes away (yes, I know the media loves Hitlery but people are going to get sick of it soon), I bet this thing drops like a rock.

I posted this on another post about Hillary but I thought it could be said again.

I went into the Barnes and Nobles in Westchester on Central Avenue yesterday and saw the stand where HILLARY's book was and I was hardly sold out! There were a few missing but there were a hell of alot left! I was very happy about that. I saw her book scattered around the store like garbage! It was dumped whereever people felt like dumping it! People apparently picked up the book - looked thru it and decided not to buy it! I went to the current affairs section to see if it was there and apparently it is not there yet but people are not running to buy it! It's all a bunch of hype!!!

I wish we'd all just forget about her and her lousy book of lies!

Maybe it is just my imagination, but I didn't seem to be hearing any updates on how many books she was supposedly selling after that opening day.

I heard on the radio news that Hillary's book was now in the black. It had made more than the $8 million advance she was given. No more details.

Interesting that I don't recall anyone else's book making the hourly news for making money. Then again, since this was liberal book-- they generally lose money --, perhaps it was news.

My favorite story about this book is one my wife told me day before yesterday.

She was at the local super-market picking up a few things on the way home from work. There was Hillary's book for about $15.00.

This book went from sterling to trash faster than anything I've seen before. FWIW, they're desparate to move these bricks.

Sales are largely due to bulk purchases by benevolent Liberals hoping to prop up their bitter dreamweaver.

I was in BooksaMillion in southern LA a couple of days ago and they had her book displayed and the display was completely FULL. Mall was extremely busy but no one buying 'the book'......

I was at our local grocery store on Saturday.

They were selling Hillary's book for 16.95 or 18.95 (can't remember which). Few if any takers -- the racks were still full.

When it's hit the Kroger remainder racks within a week, it sounds like a boat anchor to me!

The landfills will be stuffed with book. I wonder how many pallets streisand the rest of the marxists bought and had delivered directly to the shredder on it's way to the dump?

I've heard that Harry Potter has already sold more books than Hitlery and it hasn't even come out yet!

Walked into Barnes & Noble book store this weekend and bought Dallek's "John F. Kennedy - An Unfinished Life." They had a very, very small 3-legged table against the wall for Hillary's book. Spent about an hour there and not one person picked up Hillary's book. Most of the people I observed just walked by.

initial sales were rabid liberal Hitlary fans, who else would buy it?

I'm thinking the only way these sell is if the liberal history teachers buy it as their next class text. Each student will have to buy a copy...

I am not sure what is going on with the sales of her book. I read that 1 million books were printed and another 500K were still to be printed. Then 600K were sold, and on and on. Everything about that woman is tainted.
