HRC's book still on track to be among top sellers this year -- 26,000 copies this week alone,

not including e-book sales (usually about 30%).

NEW YORK — Hillary Rodham Clinton's book "Hard Choices" is on track to be one of the year's top nonfiction books despite another slip in sales.

Nielsen BookScan says "Hard Choices" sold 26,000 copies during its third week of publication.

Clinton's memoir about her years as secretary of state was published June 10 and sold more than 80,000 copies the first week and nearly 50,000 the second week. The numbers don't include e-book sales, which comprise around 30 percent of the overall market.

But there are people trying to claim that the book hasn't been selling well and that's not true, at this point anyway.

Of course Ed Klein's book should fall into the fiction category.

surprised it isn't selling as well as her previous book. Unless you love world political economy.
