Democratic Last Harrumphs
Rahm Emanuel sounds off in presidential company. Hillary's Lying History won't keep.
(Page 2 of 2)
br> Simon and Schuster is thrilled with the initial sales of Hillary Clinton 's Living History . But internal memos indicate that that feeling of good cheer will be short-lived. Part of the plan to generate buzz on the book was the leaking of some of the most sensational tidbits that had been pulled together by three ghostwriters for the former first lady. /p>"That was really to jump-start the sales," says a Simon and Schuster editor. "It's a tried and true technique."
But, says the editor, there are real concerns this book won't have staying power. "All the people that really love her and want the book have already gotten it. We know we are not going to be seeing hundred thousand sales two weeks from now."
