Clinton's Last Book Flopped Big Time
.
.
.
But sales weren't as brisk as expected. In
fact, despite oodles of publicity and reviews
in all the major newspapers, the Clinton book
flopped big time.

A little more than a year after its
publication, the Boston Globe noted that
Random House was "choking on returns" of
"Hope and History," which had sold a mere
100,000 copies.

And that was back when he was a sitting
president who was on TV practically 24 hours
a day.

Here's how the Chicago Sun-Times chronicled
the Clinton book's slow slide into oblivion:

"President Clinton's 'Between Hope and
History,' a $ 16.95 book-length essay, sold
only a small fraction of the nearly 500,000
copies printed. After as many as 350,000
copies were returned to Random House, the
publisher offered the book for $5."

Today the Clinton book sells used on
Amazon.com for $1.48.
