That's no surprise. Book deals aren't about producing literature people want. It's about laundering money . Look who owns the publishers. It's the easiest way to give people quid pro quo cash without any actual work needed
Yup. It’s the advance $$ which is important. I doubt any publisher has turned a profit on a book where they have given a multi milllion $ advance to someone whose never written before. It’s pure and simple a way to give that person a payoff.
Edit: and seriously, no one reads shit any more. The last time I saw someone who wasn’t a student holding a book was back during the Harry Potter days.
These people get more up front for their books than beat-selling authors they could never match.
It isn’t about sales. It is about spin and money-laundering. MSN will be quoting things from the book as fact for years to come and muddying the waters to drown out reality.

fuck that scumbag. he should be in prison with his corrupt family. the entire biden family is trash.
No one voted for this clown family
It was never meant to sell
It is ironic because most people do not even know about the laptop.
I am sure sales would have been higher if people were aware of the scandal and hoped to get information from the book.
You sell 10k books and make it to #130? The book market really must be dead.

I bet he got a payoff already that isn’t tied to number of books sold.

So the publisher threw away a million dollars. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9223909/Hunter-Bidens-memoir-Beautiful-Things-April.html
“threw away” is a funny way of saying “laundered”.
Imagine my shock

If it's not "right wing", I'm not buying it.
And it is best seller in Chinese Biographies
It's not a book deal. It's money laundering.
