Reagan's memoirs "Dutch" was on the New York Times Bestseller list for something like 50 weeks. Clinton's Memoirs haven't been on the bookshelve a full week yet and they have been reduced by 30%!

Of course, that MUST be it. The book sold 400,000 copies (mostly in NY) the first week. Multiply that times 40 and it will close in on the first week's sales of the last Harry Potter book. Next.

That's because some people actually believe what is written in the Harry Potter books.

I'm curious, Todd. I would guess that you would be closest to being a book expert around here. What is the best selling memoir? Do they ever sell that much? And wasn't Clinton's book pre-sold to the tune of 1 million? Just curious.

Dude, it's got a Target sticker right on it! I'm not making this up. Look on the website and find me a hardcover that isn't discounted 30%. Yep, even your pal Harry Potter...

A lot of places that sell books discount all new releases and best sellers. It is in part because they build a gigantic margin into the list price, and everyone, author, the book publisher, and the store can still make a killing. Its to make you think your getting a deal on it righ then and there, so you buy it on impulse. Its not a reflection on how well it is selling at all.

BTW, that was 400,000 copies in the first DAY. Compared to Harry Potter 500,000 in the first day.
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/06/24/MNGN57B2Q81.DTL I'm not trying to be Bill Clinton's cheerleader, but for God's sake, Todd, do some homework!
