Because she doesn't have dark money PACs or a campaign to buy them in bulk and give them away as a bonus for every five dollar donation.

That is how the rest of them "sell" books.

...billionaire sugar-daddy funded causes left, at least not any that will buy up her books in bulk to give them away at their rubber-chicken fundraising dinners. In a way, that's too bad, because it shows how captured the right is by Trumpism. They have completely sold out.

But photo op at MY FATHER'S grave to sell a book, perfectly normal.

Hillary Clinton had fond memories of doing vodka shots with John McCain -- if MM wanted to leave something on his grave that would make him happy it should've been a nice big bottle of spirits, especially if he's expected to read the book.

When her book first came out last year it was only available in audio, no word about book form so I was surprised to hear it was being published. Initial decision to keep it in audio and nobody noticing it was correct.

Given the book's Amazon rank. It's not the rank of a bestseller, but it has almost certainly sold more than 244 copies on Amazon alone.
