According to New York publishers, Bill Clinton will get more money for his book than Hillary Clinton got for hers. Well, duh. At least his book has some sex in it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If the books are selling, the money will follow.
You know, it's sort of common wisdom among New York publishers that short story collections don't make money.
I think Henry Miller has had huge influence not because he wrote about sex, but because the memoir or the nonfiction novel has become such a monumental force in American publishing, if not in literature.
I'm always astonished when I go into Barnes & Noble at the number of people buying books, of course, but also at the variety of books they do buy and the extent to which they are not the big bestsellers.

Her book about the money in sex gives you the feeling of the sex in money.
