Nancy Pelosi to Publish Memoir Jul 19 07:05 PM US/Eastern NEW YORK (AP) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat who this year became the first woman to hold the top spot in the House of Representatives, is writing a memoir, to be released in the summer of 2008 by the Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group.
"From my parents' home in Baltimore to representing San Francisco in the Congress, my life has been devoted to family and public service. I look forward to telling my story for my grandchildren and in recognition of the contributions of all women across America," Pelosi said in a statement issued Thursday by Doubleday, a division of Random House, Inc.
The book, currently untitled, will be written with a collaborator "yet to be determined," according to Doubleday. Financial terms were not disclosed. Unlike Senate rules, House rules prohibit members from getting book advances, although they may get royalties.
Pelosi's spokesman, Brendan Daly, said Pelosi has not yet finalized her contract so it's not clear what her royalty deal will be. Before the contract is signed in coming weeks it will be reviewed by the House Ethics Committee.
She hasn't decided what she would do with the royalties, Daly added.

“The Botoxed Auto-Bitchie-ography”
More than likely, it’ll be written by ghost writers who will get stiffed for their fee after they’re done just like her Fat-Ankle-ness Royal Hind-ass did on her books.
Will her “book” be available in a 2-ply, 4-roll package? That’s about the only use I can think for it.
Speaking of memoirs, Tony Dungy’s memoir, Quiet Strength, which debuted July 10, is doing extremely well. It will debut at No. 2 on the New York Times’ hardcover non-fiction list on July 29.
What a remarkable man.
I think these a disguised bribes. She’ll get a multi-million dollar advance. She’ll spend a few hours with a ghost and the book won’t sell enough to cover costs and marketing.
Amen and a gross thought at that. Who would want that in their home.Possibly it could be used in Public Restrooms and other Institutions like The Capital Restrooms.
Suggested Title:
“Moon Eyes” Aren’t Always a Sign of Psychotic Behavior.
Entitled “Shuttle Diplomacy: A Primer” with a foreward by Bashir Assad.
The San Fransisco Communist Manifesto from Safran Nancy.
This will be the only thing to come out of her Speakership.
A book.
I thought you wrote your memoirs after you retired and could reflect on your achievements? Is she announcing her retirement?
That's a great inspiration for a practical joke: take books written by Kerry, Bubba, Hitlery, ad nauseam, print the text on toilet paper, and then replace all the rolls in the Congressional bathrooms.
I sell books for extra income on Amazon.com, and because I’m a Book-a-Holic who needs to fund her addiction!
Any book ghost-written by a Liberal loses value faster than a new car once you drive it off the lot!
Obviously, it’s hard to sell books to your constituents who can’t READ in the first place. *Rolleyes*
But books by, say, Ann Coulter or Thomas Sowell and even Rush, keep their value for YEARS after publication.
Go figure. *SMIRK*
Who is going to buy a book that is a page and half long, including footnotes?
did Hillary’s books sell well?
She wrote “It Takes A Village To Raise A Child” and “Living History”. Did she write any others?
I know her books got attention but not sure how well they sold. Not sure how well the paperback versions did after the hardcover printing run was done either.
What a ditz. Who’d read such gibberish.
Maybe We could get Rush to financially back it. Its a great idea! Sorta like Club Gitmo. It could be marketed as “Democratic Poop Paper” or better yet “ Inspirational Images and Sayings of The Terrorists”.
Can't give you a definitive answer on how well those sold but I remember reading articles (6-8 months after initial release) about how the "#1 on NYT's Best Seller list" rankings were inflated by the fact the the many distributors were forced to buy hundreds of copies...that never sold. They ended up giving a lot of them away.
Someone with more indepth knowledge....?
