Just so you all know, in order to justify a $65 million advance of a book deal, the publisher would have to expect to sell about 30 to 35 million books. Just for comparison, I will list some books and their total sales.
Fahrenheit 451 - 10 million books sold
A Brief History of Time - 10 million sold
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 16 million sold
Curious George - 27 million sold
Cat in the Hat - 10.5 million sold
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - 20 million sold
and then we have the original Hunger games....29 million sold.
Now, does anyone in their right mind, think its even remotely possible that Obamas book would be more read than Hunger games?
Literally half of all Obama voters will have to buy his book. HALF! What are the odds of that?
