Will the people who buy Palin's book even read it?
Right wingers today aren't the type who read much of anything with the exception of big bright Fox news headlines. A lot of them will go out and buy Palin's book just because it would be blasphemy not to but does anyone seriously think they'll actually sit down and read it? or actually finish it? or make it past the front cover?

1. It will be sold in bulk to outfits like Newsmax
which will give it away as a subscription premium (like Ann Coulter's screeds). But that will put it on the best seller list. Some of the true believers will read it; some will want it just for the pictures (if you know what I mean).

6. Lol I've always found it amusing that these right wing "authors"......
have to literally give their books away to make it on the best seller list. Palin though has a dedicated following who will buy what ever garbage she puts out no matter what.

capable of reading or are there some pictures to entertain them?

11. Well, that's why they should buy Symbolman's book.
It has all those neat pitchers to color.

4. During the Third Reich, "Mein Kampf" was on all coffee tables but rarely read.

14. Well, I'm thinking we should all read it, of course that's when the
think tanks buying it up give it away for free like do Ann Coulters diatribes. My reason is that it will probably be a lot of unreadable dribble but buried in the words are her game plan. It was said that if people had read the almost unreadable BS that was in Hitler's "Mein Kampf" he would never have risen to power because he outlined his game plan there. Most people didn't read it because it was so boring and it had a lot egoistical stuff in it about his life and thoughts that made it rambling and disorganized. I suspect Sarah's book will be the same.
