BARGAIN BIN ALERT: "Melania" flops bigly in first week book sales
The just released memoir by former First Lady Melania Trump proves to be a 'disaster', according to tracking from Circana Book Scan. In it's debut week, the wife of Presidential candidate Donald Trump sold a paltry 85,000 copies of the hardcover book titled 'Melania'. In comparison, former First Lady Michelle Obama sold 1.4 million in the first week with her memoir, 'Becoming', in November 2018. By November 2019, it had sold 11.5 million copies.
Over at Amazon, “Melania” is a dud on Amazon’s Kindle e-books at number 161. Amazon lists a large print paperback at 6,856. No audio book is available.
Donald Trump boasted at the Al Smith dinner that Melania Trump’s book, “Melania,” is number 1 on the NY Times best seller list.
But that will be for one week only.
“Melania” has not made it to number 1 on USA Today, Amazon, or at Barnes & Noble. It’s been outsold by Bob Woodward’s “War” and by Elvis Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir.
At Barnes and Noble, “Melania” is number 40.
The Times list is ten days old when it appears. Initial sales and back orders propelled “Melania” to number 1. But the momentum wasn’t there.

Does that explain the below-linked thread?

R1 Yes, it does. As the article states, it has not reached #1 on USA TODAY, AMAZON, or BARNES & NOBLE. The data NYT releases is over a week old.

An audio book would be rather difficult to understand, if she is doing the speaking. She struggles with English - it would be a struggle to listen to it.

Trump outsourced his campaign logistics to Elon Musk (lol) and that troll didn’t think to buy up 10,000 copies to hand out at rallies.

She should include a small envelope with some authentic shaved pussy hair in the book - that will encourage the ol' MAGA geezers to purchase it. "Pooosy Hair for You, From Melania With Love. No Return Book - How You Say ? - Final Sale."

"She can barely read or write...."
Neither can her targeted market: her husband's MAGAt supporters, so the sales figures should be surprising to no one.

R5 right 😆. First of all, Magas don’t read books and I think many other conservatives wouldn’t buy a book from her. There is no audience for her when it comes to BOOKS.

I’ve said this a few times on this site. I will never forget when the she and Dump were on Larry King and they showed a clip of 5 yr old Barron getting ready for school. He had Slovenian accent. King’s old Brooklyn ass quickly pointed it out with no fucks to give. Trump was hella embarrassed, you could tell. And Melania proudly said in the fkin whore accent, “That’s cause he’s always with meeee”

Melania was always with Barron back then, and Trump was always with porn stars. Fair and balanced.

For those of you who don't know about publishing, this is how it works:
There's an outfit in Texas that will guarantee your book is a bestseller. It costs between $500K and a million, and you get a guaranteed spot on the Times bestseller list. Each year about twenty to thirty "authors" use this service so they can say they had a NY Times bestseller. Everyone from politicians to billionaires to Clarence Thomas (I'm sure Mr. Leo did it for him) have used this service. The way to spot it is how fast a book that is supposedly a number one bestseller stays on the list. If it's a real bestseller, it lingers. If it's a bought bestseller, it leaves fairly quickly.
The service is done through a network of people who buy the book across the country, I can't tell you more because I sighed an NDA.

Apparently, she talks about her deep friendship with France's first lady, Brigitte Macron, when in fact they've never spent time together outside formal events.

Okay, you didn't buy her book, but know you have the opportunity to purchase a $195 digital photo collection showcasing her "dynamic life."
The photos being sold through her personal website “offer a poignant glimpse into [Melania Trump’s] fast-moving life,” her office said.

She should have just plagiarized The Happy Hooker in its entirety, and put a picture of her whore mouth on the cover.
Nobody would have known and her fans would have been titillated.

That's impressive. I can't imagine the target group. (Apart from late-night show producers and the DL).

The word "truly" is used 95+ times in its 256 pages, apparently. Other favorites: "sophisticated," "elegant," "experience" and "growth." To think a ghostwriter was paid good money for this...
