"Fire and Fury" completely sells out on it's first day


Booksellers in major cities across the USA have reported they completely sold out of their copies of the the Michael Wolff book "Fire and Fury" within hours of putting it on their shelves yesterday morning. Other smaller booksellers in other cities who received a smaller inventory said they sold out right away, as well. Some took to posting hand-written signs to hang on their front doors which simply said "SOLD OUT of "Fire and Fury" ".

On amazon, the Goliath of internet book sales said they completely sold out of their vast inventory, and the title is now backordered up to four weeks.

One Washington bookseller sold out their initial order of eight dozen books within hours of putting them on sale yesterday morning and waiting to get a reorder of up to 200 copies in soon.

A DC competitor had customers lining up shortly before midnight on Friday, and sold out their order by 12:20 am. They're waiting for another order to come in - next Monday at the earliest.

Stories similar to this played out in Boston, New York, Chicago and LA.

Wow - that "Cease and Desist" filing sure did a great job for Wolff and his publisher!

Wow, you must have spent your life savings!! LOL

So I guess it bothers you that President Trump didn't send out "his thugs" to bookstores to stop the sale of this book?

Does it bother you that the sale of Hillary's last few books were in the toilet? Even her followers and fans didn't want to buy it!

Talk about "needing a life". ha ha Will ruining someone else's life someone improve the ruin that is surely YOUR life. You are a trip!

"So I guess it bothers you that President Trump didn't send out "his thugs" to bookstores to stop the sale of this book?"

Doesn't bother me since I didn't know he deals with thugs until I just read your response! So what you're saying is that T-rump has thugs which he can send out at any time to private businesses if he doesn't like what they are selling????? And you voted for this guy for President and stand by him knowing this? WOW - some American you are, supporting someone who deals with thugs to get what he wants in life - and as President. SMH.

"Does it bother you that the sale of Hillary's last few books were in the toilet? Even her followers and fans didn't want to buy it!"

I don't know what lies Sean's Insanity or "FAUX and FRIENDS" have been feeding you, but nothing can be further from the truth. Hillary's book "What Happened" debuted on the NY TIMES Bestseller list at #1 back in September where it spent two weeks, remained in the top 4 till the beginning of December, and 15 weeks later it's still in the top 10 (currently #9 for this first week of the New Year). It was the best-selling hardcover book in it's first week (167,000 copies) since 2012's "No Easy Day". It also topped the non-fiction best-seller lists for USA TODAY, PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY, AMAZON and BARNES & NOBLE. It sold approximately 450,000 hard-cover copies as of two weeks before Christmas (the last three weeks of official December sales have not been released it). So if that's the book her fans and followers didn't buy, then her non-fans and non-followers took a huge interest in it...or should I say "yuge" so you understand.

Maybe you were referring to T-rump's last book, 2016's "Crippled America" which debuted at #5 upon release and dropped off the NY Times Bestseller list after 13 weeks, after bottoming out at #15 in it's last week. Or didn't Sean Insanity report that fact?

reply

Nope I don't get my news about book sales from Sean Hannity. But her books were hardly the great sellers that the leftwing media said they were. Actually if I had birds, I might have considered buying a few copies. Always need to line those birdcages!

But I stand corrected, golly gee! 450,000 copies sold in a country of 300,000,000! I don't actually believe those numbers, the New York Times has not exactly been known for truth telling in the last few decades. But hey, that many people who want to read lies and more self serving Hillary excuses is statistically possible in a country of 300 million.

That sick pornographic book 'Fifty Shades of Grey' sold a hundred million world wide. So there's no accounting for taste (or common sense) And no, just to spare you typing out more foolish insults, I never read it.

President Trump and "his thugs" Oh my! Yes! Every time he calls me we talk about them. In fact I was the one to suggest them. He always calls me for advice.

Sorry, I forgot that the subtlety of sarcasm just goes WAAAY over your pointy little head!

You sure DO have a strange interest in Sean and Fox News. Just stick to Rachel Maddow. I have a feeling you feel safer and less threatened by dykes anyway (thus your love of Hillary)

"But her books were hardly the great sellers that the leftwing media said they were."

More alternate facts from the right wing nutjobs. Wonderful.
Need I read the rest of this babble when it starts off with a right-wing lie - err, 'alternate truth' ? Nahhhh.

reply

No you don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. Just continue on as the loyal leftwing loony toon you have always been. LOL

reply

Do you get paid to post on here? Half of the threads on Trump's first page have been started by you.

Psycho.

reply

and the other half by the ultra right wing versions of him. you people are not interested in movies, are you?

reply

"and the other half by the ultra right wing versions of him"

Yeah, that would be different people, not one person.

And looking at your posts, why do I get the feeling you're Doggy under a different account?

reply

"Yeah, that would be different people, not one person."

i doubt that.

"And looking at your posts"

liar

"why do I get the feeling you're Doggy under a different account?"

you don't. you are just as helpless as always and don't find a smarter answer.

reply

You spend your time defending Doggy.

Yeah, it's you, Dog.

reply

nice try, doggy. ^^

reply

Having two accounts to support yourself is lame.

reply

SnagsWolf- Doggiedaddy just enjoys slamming Trump. I think it's his hobby. I guess he's harmless enough. But if you are going to hang around here, get used to it. LOL

Back on IMDB, he used to start daily threads. It was either something about his awful daughter Ivanka, his awful wife Melania, his awful son-in-law, his racism, his sexism, his anti-Semitism, his hair, his tweeting, etc. It never stopped.

reply

You can skip them because they're the truth about Trump - and we all know you sheeple don't want the truth. You want the 'alternate truth'.

reply

Psycho. Get a life.

reply

Alternate reality is not going to help you.

reply

And you're obviously having problems with reality. Trump is living in your head.

reply

Unplug your microwave, snags. They're spying on you.

reply

Obviously projecting your paranoia onto others.

You need to start five more threads about Trump.

reply

Why would I want to read a book about Humpty Trumpty????? I see enough of him on the news and in newspapers, magazines, etc. Ugh! No thanks!

reply

The media is complicit in keeping this crazy man in the news.

reply

Well he's president so literally everything he does now is newsworthy. But I agree that the media was complicit keeping him the news while he was demanding Obama's birth certificate and implying he wasn't a U.S. citizen. It was insanity and the media coverage he received normalized that behavior which to me was really disgusting.

reply

Yea I had to download it from piratebay myself.

reply

Yep. And we all know tramp isn't going to sue! He would have to testify and we all know he don't won't to do that.

reply

Exactly - he does his usual 'empty threats' with lawsuits....but will never carry through with those lawsuits because he knows he will have to testify, and if the right defense attorney is representing the defendant, he may even ask the Judge to enter Trump's tax returns into evidence!

The last thing T-rump's lawyers wants him to do is perjure himself in the first few minutes of a trial.

reply

I'd love to see it!!!!!!!! tRump testify??? Now that would be like watching SNL!

reply

It will never, ever, ever happen. Which is why he never goes to court and all the lawsuits he files are usually dismissed or settled out of court. He will never expose himself to a courtroom if he can help it.

reply

Well your hero Hillary never would expose herself in a courtroom either. She just keeps saying, "I can't recall" or "There's no proof of that."

It's sad that you don't even know how ridiculous you sound.

reply

Hillary Clinton again?

OK - once again - if I bring out a dolly will you show the class where mean Hillary hurt you?

reply

I see Hillary's stalker didn't come back to answer your question! LOL. The obsession/hate is real with that font.

reply

She threw in Hillary in another response, thank God.

Makes you wonder what her Mommy did to her that she hates Hillary so much.

reply

Completely understandable. tRump before a judge?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That would be better than SNL.

reply

It will never, ever, ever happen. Which is why he never goes to court and all the lawsuits he files are usually dismissed or settled out of court.
It has already happened. Donald trump has gone to court, has been Deposed, and has repeated many, many falsehoods (lied) in his Depositions.

He has never been held accountable which is why he continues to do what he does. When he is pinned down on any of his falsehoods, exaggerations or out and out lies he will deflect and or say that he didn't remember or didn't recall. The reason DT doesn't write or use e-mail he is both deathly afraid and calculating.

DT has been in a courtroom and it is never pretty for him.
