HILLARY OUTSELLS BILL IN CLINTON BOOK RACE
Wed Aug 18 2004 11:42:59 ET
Hillary Clinton's book will stand as the sales champ over her husband's MY LIFE, sales figures show. With Bill Clinton's book scanning just 28,444 copies last week -- for a total of 1,001,262 since its release, according to NIELSEN -- Hillary's record appears safe.
The former first lady's LIVING HISTORY sold 1,121,340 during the same number of weeks in release, data shows.
[NIELSN BOOKSCAN tracks sales from approximately 4,500 retailers across the country and is generally considered to capture about 70-80% of total sales of all books sold in USA. The number represents scanned, purchased, sold and bagged copies at AMAZON, BARNES AND NOBLE, BORDER'S, COSTCO and other outlets.]
Meanwhile, Retired Army general Tommy Franks appears to have soft support with his book AMERICAN SOLDIER. Figures released Wednesday morning show Franks selling little more than 107,000 copies in his first two weeks.
[Franks scanned just 42,644 in his second week, after receving a cash advance of millions from his publisher HARPERCOLLINS/REGANBOOKS].
