AP source: Palin book sells big in first week
By HILLEL ITALIE (AP) - 1 day ago

NEW YORK - Sarah Palin appears well on her way to becoming a million-selling
author.

"Going Rogue" sold 700,000 copies - a number that includes pre-orders - in
its first week of release, according to a publishing official close to the
former Alaska governor. The official was not authorized to release the sales
figure and asked not to be identified.

Palin's memoir came out Nov. 17 with a first printing of 1.5 million copies.
On Friday, publisher HarperCollins announced that the printing would be
increased to 2.5 million.

Few nonfiction books have debuted so well. In 2004, Bill Clinton's "My Life"
sold more than 900,000 copies in its first week.

That was because everyone was hoping he'd answer the question "Was Monica
really that good?" With him, fiction and fact had a tenuous relationship.
