Woodward book breaks 93-year publishing record
The Hill ^ | September 13, 2018 | Joe Concha

Posted on 09/13/2018 12:09:31 PM PDT by EveningStar

Bob Woodward's new book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," sold more than 750,000 copies through its first day of release, the most for any title in Simon & Schuster history, according to the 94-year-old publisher.

The investigative book by the veteran Watergate reporter, who has written books about every administration dating back to President Nixon, was powered by excerpts published before the book's public release Tuesday and President Trump's public rejection of it. Trump called the book "a con on the public" consisting of quotes that are "made up frauds" designed to boost Democrats ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

Whoever thought hating Trump would be so profitable.
Trump is helping everyone out, even those who hate him.

They're all arming up with ammo out of that book of lies. Doesn't matter if it's lies as long as the masses of idiots repeat it.over and over again.

Very likely it's required reading for the Dems and all their ‘children’ gofers and activists.

Read the separate thread. According to Sid Blumenthal email to Hillary, Woodward has been a spokesman for the FBI since Deep Throat who had the Deputy Director job. Copy of email is available.

Good point. I can see Bezos buying up tens of thousands and giving them away in a "Free with Prime" Amazon promotion.... and giving them away "Free with a subscription to the Washington Post."

We are really up against it in November. No doubt there is a core of radical, nonsensical Trump haters who will be out in force at election time. We see it in how much out of state money is raised by lightweights like Beta O’Rourke in TX. Whether there is enough of these fools remains to be seen but, undoubtedly, Republicans will need a top notch turnout effort in most races.

A 93 year publishing record?

Publishing record ≠ sales record.

Trotting out Woodward is symptomatic of the Left. The man who arguably took out a president is now being pushed to do it again. Out of ideas, running on fumes, get the ancient geezer to create another Watergate.

Have they even had time to *print* 750,000 books?

From where were they sold? Book stores? Amazon?

Sounds like a little propaganda campaign goin’ on out da’ah.
