So what does she do? Take her tour to mostly (only?) large chain stores. Of course, that's typical $arah hypocrisy...because in the end, it's only HER bottom line that matters. @Jamie Smith–

The overwhelming, vast majority of outlets that she is signing at over this tour are corporate chains. They literally make it their business to crush small, local booksellers, and are part of the cancerous homogenization destroying communities everywhere. With their self-serving, distorted business model of devaluing titles in a race to the bottom, the worth of actually earning a living writing or publishing books is consequently suffering, save for the relative handful of megasellers. So much for supporting the American dream.

To bad they wouldn't allow the book signing. Looking forward to pictures of any line crusing with the Palin worshippers. Love the S'LAY cap! Very appropriate! Awesome.

I just went over to the Barnes & Nobles store to see what they had... and it's just the ghost written thing - which appears not to be moving too fast.

Only the new hampstah branch has wingnuts, and they give me religiously some heavily discounted volume piece of trash (last year got "Do-Gooders" that had a $1.00 tag on it). I hope that if the hampsters give me Palin's book that they will have to pay the full $29 price. Everyone else will find it discounted. And that's only because I'm a bit of a political junky. I am putting the comic book on my wish list, however. 9 MonaLisa IS FIRED UP, READY TO GO! Says: December 6th, 2009 at 8:33 AM
