I've written two books, one published by a major New York publisher and one I published myself and got it picked up by a major distributor, so I know a little bit about this subject. There is a big difference between shipping a million copies of a book and selling a million copies. I've been saying since the day this deal was announced that Hillary's huge advance (and Bill's, too, for that matter) was a payoff to Democrats to grease the wheels of legislation favorable to the big media companies that own the publishers and had nothing to do with anticipated sales. I've also been saying that if you actually want a copy of what would undoubtedly be a load of self-serving lies, just wait a couple of months and you'd be able to pick it up in any remainder bin for $2.99, which is 299 cents more than it's worth, unless you rip out the pages and use them as fireplace starters. I stand by that prediction.
