Despite
saturation media coverage when it was published a month ago,
Mary Cheney's book Now It's My Turn has tanked
at bookstores. Published by a conservative imprint of
Simon & Schuster, the memoir has sold fewer than
6,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen Bookscan.
The book's sales have declined in each of the
four weeks since its release, to only 574 copies sold
for the week ending June 3. That's 77% fewer than its
first-week sales of 2,445.
At this rate, it will be virtually impossible
for Simon & Schuster to recoup the reported $1
million advance it paid Cheney for the book, which
describes her life as the gay daughter of Vice President
Dick Cheney. (The Advocate)
