Palin Book Deal Could Rake in $7 Million

Does that mean she doesn't qualify for Joe Six Pack anymore? lol I'm not really interested in reading her book but, maybe the Congress could use it as a filibuster next time they need one just kidding lol. This subject is way too funny and I better stop before I get in trouble here...

Well, I wouldn't mind reading her story, but depending on how bad I want to read it, that depends.I know she hasn't gone away yet to say she is off the meter, so to be honest, i cannot fathom how she could get such a deal. unless she owes someone. I am not mad at someone for raking in their cheddar(money)but 7 million? shoot.. I wouldn't buy it per se, but I would read it or borrow it from the library. If I get that Kindle I want, I may just put it there.

Whether you like her or not she's a star. There are people who love her and will likely buy anything with her name on it. The content of a book isn't nearly as important as the person who writes it these days and I'm sure the publisher will make plenty of money off the book sales. For your final question, no, I never buy political books and this one would be no exception. I wouldn't be surprised if a relative bought it for me for Christmas though.

I thought I heard on one of the news channels that as long as Palin was Gov. Of Alaska she couldn't do any book deals or such. Alaska has a law about their Gov. only serving their state. I could be wrong. I wouldn't waste my money buying a book about Palin but then again I wouldn't waste my money on Bush or Obama either. I would however go to my local library to checkout the book to read.

I will not buy it in hardcover. I will not buy it in paperback. I will not borrow it from a friend. (Actually, I don't think I know anyone who would buy it to borrow it from.) I do not like Sarah Palin. After reading this again before posting, I think I kind of sound like Dr. Seuss. I guess I should add "Sam I am" after the line about Palin.

Well Obama has put out several books. WHy not her too. But to tell you the truth I will probly get it from the library. Gotta cut exspenses you know.

I'm not a reader so I would not buy it at all. I cannot see making someone rich off of a book anyway, really, unless they are a very good author or writer, themselves.

I'll just skip it. I can't believe any company would pay that much for any book.

I think it's great Sarah Palin is getting this book deal, and yes, I think it will be widely read enough to justify the advance. She certainly deserves the celebrity status for all her trouble. She didn't vaunt herself into the spotlight to achieve such status either. The media has put there on its own initiative. Kudos to her.

Egads, she's never going to go away, is she? I believe that she will get &7 million for a book because people out there have some sort of fascination with her. I would not in a million years buy a book about her nor would I check it out at the library. I'm an avid reader but I like to read up on more interesting subject matter. I much prefer reading about President-elect Obama or VP-elect Biden, both of whom I have a great amount of respect for. She'll get the book deal, people will buy it, & she'll make loads of money. I'm not happy about it but I know it will happen.

I suspect that any book Palin *writes* will be preachy and can't possibly be very informative simply because she's already talked about her family and accomplishments thus far, none of which are particularly interesting to any but her most ardent fans. In fact, any book that she would write will be missing important elements such as overcoming adversity and both internal and external struggles. Tales like that attract readers...not stories where everything seemed to come so easily.

Well I wouldn't buy Palin's book! She doesn't come out as a smart person to me. I think they'll play up her hockey mom story and all the family drama instead of why she is a good candidate for the 2012 elections. It will really have to depend on the book will be about, but considering how popular Governor Palin is, I think the 7M is reasonable.

Evidently some publisher thinks it will sell. I might buy the book in hardback, but I'd wait until it's on the discount table. This has nothing to do with my feelings about her, it's that I only buy discount books.

There must be some people who would love to buy her book. She does has her fans too you know... anyway, if someone give me her book for free, or a i can borrow it for free, I would like to read it. just to gain knowledge and some point of view

I want to know what kind of book it is. If it is about Alaska, I loved the state when we were in it for a few days, and the scenery is so beautiful, and I would buy it. And if it is anything about the history of that state, and what it offers, I would also buy it. I would even buy it is it was an autobiography or politics because it would have pictures of that state. And in hardcover as well, the paperbook has too small a print for me.

I say if she can get it, good for her. Of course it's the name "Sarah Palin" that's the key. I imagine it will do quite nicely and the publisher always takes a risk. I don't know that I would give that much of an advance, simply because you don't know how a book will do. And with the twinge of jealousy I'll go on my cynical way with my unpublished novel.

Someone in my family will probable buy it. I usually buy mysteries.

You gotta love America where any nobody can rise from obscuredom to fame without really trying. Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton never did anything of note yet they are celebrities. What is it with this phenomena. Sports stars whose only real talent is throwing a ball around in a kids game get millions in salaries and millions in endorsements as we hang on their every word. Sarah Palin, yes she is now famous in the same way and is worth millions while 19 million Americans do not have health coverage.
