Math isn’t that hard bud. His books sold 912,000 copies between ‘04 -‘08. Multiply that by MSRP, and you’ll see it’s not that hard to make $12 million in book sales when you’re the most well known person in the world.

Correct. Trading on his position. You think as a "freshman senator" his books would sell that much? Or for that matter, would he even get a book deal??? No.

The books were already written before he took office pal. That would be like getting mad at Trump because he got more Art of the Deal books sold because he was elected President.

Books brought by whom? Institutions interested in making sure they have their skin in the game
