Sarah Palin, a Soon-to-Be Publishing Phenom (Barracuda goes rogue)

Her book sales will be hurt by the lack of purchases by libraries, both public and school.

Not sure about that one. I live in New York City and have library cards that are usable in all 5 borroaghs and also have a library card that can be used in Long Island.

I do see Mark Levin's, Glenn Becks' and Michelle Malkin's books available here. When there is a demand for the book ( i.e., they make the top 10 list), I believe the public libraries will get them.

Thank you very much!

It is a nice thought. I would love to stand in line, get to the front, and be able to talk to her for just a few seconds, and tell her how much she means to all of us.....and have her sign my book, “I am not Tina Fey, —Sarah Palin”............

Maybe I’m more cyncial than I need to be, but such are the times I live in.

[Radagast the Fool]

Hey, cute idea...how would you have Our Sarah sign your book?

I think I’d have her sign it “from Sarah Barracuda to Rad the Fool”

[Radagast the Fool]

You have her autograph?
Lucky you! I’m major jealous!! :)

Yeehaw!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Bumpity bump!!! Good for her.

Ms. Vincent didn't reveal any details about the book, but did acknowledge it will describe Ms. Palin's frustration over her treatment by the staffers she inherited from the McCain campaign after her surprise pick as the GOP vice presidential nominee last year. Ms. Palin was booked on grueling interviews with hostile reporters while talk-show hosts such as Glenn Beck couldn't even get through to her aides. Mr. Beck tells me he was stunned when he picked up the phone one day just before the election to discover Sarah Palin was on the other end of the line. "She explained that she had been blocked from reaching her audience, so she was now 'going rogue' and booking her own interviews," Mr. Beck told me. "I was thrilled she had burst out of the cage they'd built for her and we were finally talking."

That incident was the only time Ms. Palin declared her independence from her keepers, and it's fitting that the title of her upcoming book will be "Going Rogue: An American Life."

I'm looking forward to reading her book.

I'm looking forward to reading her book.

Same here. I pre-ordered a copy on Amazon.com last night. In less than 24 hours, Sarah's not-yet-published book shot up to #1 on Barnes & Noble's site, and it was #3 on Amazon.com, last I heard. Incredible.

[The Wizard]

they all went down in the last 24 hours because Sarah has gone up in the past 24 hours.

Yeehaw!
