Bachelor Clinton's Money Book!
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004 while thinking about eating a Bastardly Mercado Certified lunch by Moe
From the WSJ:
"Elsewhere, Danny Gainsburg, a partner in Politics and Prose in Washington, said the bookstore had sold close to 2,000 copies of "My Life" by 4:30 p.m. "This is the best first day we've had with a book," said Mr. Gainsburg. On the West Coast, the Bookshop Santa Cruz in Santa Cruz, Calif., said it sold 45 copies of the memoir in the first 3½ hours of the selling day. "It's not Harry Potter, but it's flying off the shelves," said Ryan Coonerty, a vice president."
2000? Definitely impressive. I used to work at Barnes & Noble, so I've seen fat people throw a fit because you don't have their popular, new release. When they want a book, they want it right then and there! It’s like food to them. They want you to call every other B&N in a 500 mile radius to find it! No ifs and buts! haha. It was funny sometimes, I swear. Once I was actually able to find a copy of a book that was supposedly sold out---the customer ended up tipping me $5 bucks. I told her, "Ma'am, I can't take tips." She insisted that I do, so since I was only in the 10th grade & Taco Bell was just across the street, so naturally, I pocketed the money before she had a chance to change her mind. I'm Indian, ok. I am taught to pick up pennies off the street, for God's sake.
