Though never exactly shy, Ann Coulter has been especially noisy in her self-promotion lately, inventing a beef with NBC News, arguing with Keith Olbermann over the meaning of a Cornell degree and taking her act on the road with Bill Maher as foil. Could it be because she's worried she's losing our attention?
Coulter's latest book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America, is something of a misfire by Coulterian standards. Of course, what constitutes a disappointment for Coulter would be a mega-hit for most authors; in its two months on sale, Guilty has sold 100,500 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan (a number that only reflects around 70 percent of actual sales).
http://www.portfolio.com/views/blogs/mixed-media/2009/03/12/ann-coulters-book-sales-head-south?tid=trueOddly, none of her books ever sold more than 400K copies in hardcover. Since there are 300 million of us and considering how many get sold to libraries, she doesn't have the reach she thinks she has.
