https://www.showbiz411.com/2022/06/02/kellyanne-conway-couldnt-con-book-buyers-just-25000-in-sales-for-heres-the-dealThe memoir of her time lying to the American people and making a mockery of everything is sales fizzle.
Heres the Deal sold just 25,000 copies in its first week. The second week should be a lot less, too. The book has already dropped to number 126 on amazons best seller list.
Compare Conways sales to those of Donald Trumps dissenting niece, Mary Trump. Her first book, Too Much and Never Enough, clocked 1.35 million in his debut week. Michelle Obama? Her Becoming was well over a million, as well. And even Donald Trump himself sold about 240,000 copies of a coffee table book last winter, which is now being used as a large coaster. (It was self published by Trumps self-parody of a son, Donald Jr.)

Have the right wing sites stopped making bulk sales?

(15,384 posts)Usually the various organizations in the GOP cabal buy up new books from conservative authors to make them best sellers and then give them away when you donate a certain amount or join some group so...
Either they don't like what she has to say
Or they're short on funds
Maybe both?

(1,783 posts)...they put next to the phony astroturfed right wing books. It used to be a little dagger or cross. They started doing that at least a decade ago after sources started reporting to them about the bulk-buying book scam being run by the "think" tanks and Republican party groups.

10,000 is the the high-water mar for legitimate "an individual paid with their own money" purchases.

(33,587 posts)most GOP book grifters have multiple copies bought by donors in exchange for political favors. What can she offer? It's not like the MAGA mouthbreathers read.

(34,075 posts)I retired in April, and since I have more time I am working on nurturing my tomatoes this year - rather than just planting, watering, occasionally fertilizing, treating for blight, and enjoying a small crop (relative to the number of plants).
I just built two 7' A-frame trellises to string up my 9 indeterminate varieties (all heirlooms). So far, they are quite happy, and have already survived quite the wind/rainstorm the other day.
