using the book as a retail loss leader--that is marking it way down in order to cash in on all of the other products due to her book traffic. This book has sold and will sell very very well. 400+ pages.

a higher standard. The value of this book deal in comparison, will be private since she is no longer in office; but the presales have been unprecedented and the buzz is at least 8-10 million. Both WalMart and Amazon are

Sarah Palin has a degree in journalism and is a life long journal keeper. She worked with Lynn Vincent on this book and every politician has a ghostwriter. She happened to disclose hers as she is always held to

Her advance also demonstrates how big of an idiot she is. Laura Bush got $1.6 million. Hilary got $8 million, Bill Clinton $15 million. Even Bush got 8 million.

Good for her! She's been treated horribly. I'm glad her book has been #1 for many weeks, even though it hasn't been released yet! By the way it's 7 figures, not 8.
