Sarah Palin's Book Cover Unveiled

By

(AP)  You know the title; now, see the cover of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue."

The former Alaska governor's memoir, a top-seller online weeks before publication, will feature an outdoor shot of Palin, wearing an American flag pin on her red fleece top, eyes turned slightly from the camera as she smiles confidently into the horizon, a patchwork of Alaska blue sky and clouds behind her.

The image was released Thursday by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins.

The book, originally planned for next spring, is coming out Nov. 17 with an announced first printing of 1.5 million copies. Palin and collaborator Lynn Vincent finished "Going Rogue" just two months after Palin's resignation as governor.

Controversy sells books, so she is trying to create as much as possible.

You can get the book from Newsmax for 4.95, with a $6 shipping and handling charge along with a subscription. So is this how they got the numbers when talking about the book selling out? Essentially free, with a subscription? What a hoot. Only her loyal followers will pay full price.
If her book purchases numbers are based on a falsely inflated buy by a corporation, i.e., Newmax , she is headed for a rude awakening.

Ka-ching!

Reviewers will pan it (that's a given) but the book will sell millions.

"Palin helps support local homeless shelters".

In a "NEWS" headline today on FOX NOISE, Rupert Murdoch announced that the 1.499 million pre-sale copies he purchased of "Going Rogue" will be recycled in to single ply toilet paper for local homeless shelters. "I can't move them and a I can't sell them, so this seemed like the right the thing to do"...

Faux News and Rupert Murdoch have probably bought enormous amounts of the book from pre-sale orders so it would show up in the top selling list. This so called 'book' will be in the bargain bin not too long after it is released. As Chelsea Handler said the other night, "It's 400 pages long and the last 200 will be blank after she quits half way thru", like she did as Governor of Alaska.

I think she's looking at Russia in that picture.

I can't imagine anyone buying the book, EXCEPT FOR REPUBLICANS! This airhead of a woman is the Republicans "dream candidate"!!??? How in the world was this woman able to finish a sentence, let alone write a book? And Palin found a lousy author to help write it! Typical Palin!

I wouldn't waste a penny on the book!

Interesting, she went with the "Walker, Texas Ranger" background. The only thing she is missing is a cowboy hat.
