As retailers count their robust preorders for Sarah Palin’s upcoming memoir, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” a small publisher out West says his decision to issue “Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska’s Political Establishment Upside Down” by Kaylene Johnson, was one of his best.

The book, an unauthorized look at Palin’s life that begins with her early years in Alaska and ends with her winning the governorship, was published originally in May 2008, by Epicenter Press, based in Kenmore, Wash. Kent Sturgis, president, says that the biography sold 13,000 hardcovers and 80,000 paperback copies.

93,000 copies of “Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska’s Political Establishment Upside Down” is actually quite impressive for a non-fiction book. I recently read that for a non-fiction book to be considered successful it has to sell 7,500 copies.
