If people were smart, they would not by books from politicians and hacks.

Anything possibly interesting comes out and you can hang on to your cash!

He’s pond scum, but he did us a service by helping flush out Bannon before he got his stink all over the mid terms.

By the third week of release, the book had sold 1.7m hard cover copies. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2018/01/24/michael-wolffs-fire-and-fury-sales-exceed-1-7-million-third-week/1062102001/ Assuming (the industry average) 10% of the $30 cover price goes to the author, that’s $5m in his pocket with no additional work on his part. I’m surprised he’s bothering to show up at any of these events. Just how much money do you need? At 64, he’s no spring chicken. Doing a marathon speaking tour can’t be good for his health.

He can’t even attract the nutjobs of Portland? He’s totally toxic.

The way it works is that the promoters buy up the copies at retail to push it onto the best seller list. It may well be a money loser.

Hope he is terminally ill.

[GnuThere]

How long before his publisher sues this clown?

[FrdmLvr]

Winning!

There are some exceptions:

For example, I think this might by worth reading:

Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption & Enriches Family and Friends by Peter Schweize, author of Clinton Cash

[MortMan]

Have you ever noticed that they never actually tell you how to get to Sesame Street?!?

[dforest]

I agree. I do not consider Schweitzer a hack though.
