indicated that he would focus on the four years he served as president.

That would be a short book as it would just be "I do not recall."

Will it come with a box of crayons?

It’s a payback. All the books published except for 4 will be stored in a warehouse until they rot.

Here is the info on the CEO of the book company…

Diversity initiatives
Shelley has been outspoken about the need for Inclusivity and diversity in leadership roles in the publishing industry as well as in the books published.[14] In 2016 he started an Hachette initiative called "Changing the Story", aiming to make the company more diverse and inclusive, in which was launched an imprint called Dialogue Books, headed by Sharmaine Lovegrove, to "publish books by writers from diverse backgrounds who may otherwise not have been picked up by the establishment".[4][7] He has said: "Unfortunately, there've been too many decades where nothing has happened, so there's a lot of ground we have to make up for in the industry. And the sad thing is that there are potential classics that were never published in the 60s–90s because the industry was very much one way. I'm reminded of Allison and Busby, the first company I worked for. It was started by two people – a man called Clive Allison and a woman called Margaret Busby. Margaret was the first black British woman to have a publishing company. They started that in 1967, and she published some amazing writers like Ishmael Reed and CLR James – just some fantastic BAME writers. What's also sad is that from 1967 till up to two or three years ago, there were very few other Margaret Busbys and things didn't move on. I think there's an awful lot of ground the industry has to cover".[4]

Following the Murder of George Floydon 25 May 2020, Hachette UK donated £10,000 to The United Families and Friends Campaign (a grouping of families and friends of those who have died in the custody of police and prison officers), and £10,000 to The Inclusive Indies Fund, to help diversity-led independent publishers survive the coronavirus crisis. Shelley said: "...there is a more urgent need than ever for us to stand together and educate ourselves, become better allies and offer financial support where we can. These events highlight the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement and, closer to home, they underpin the vital work of THRIVE, Hachette's network for BAME employees, Changing The Story, our strategy to make the company more inclusive at all levels, and Dialogue Books, our imprint focused on illuminating voices often excluded from the mainstream."[15]

After the publication on 15 June 2020 of an open letter from the newly formed Black Writers' Guild, calling for change in the UK publishing industry to address inequalities in output and personnel,[16][17] Shelley was quoted in The Guardian as saying that "the industry could and should do a lot more – and that we could and should do a lot more at Hachette".[18][19]

Shelley has also expressed a commitment to regional diversity, with plans for Hachette to open new offices in Sheffield, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Manchester and Bristol, so as "to forge closer links to the brilliant pool of creative talent outside the 'London bubble' and connect more closely with readers, authors and booksellers around the UK to enrich our publishing."[20]

$10 million advance for a book that’ll debut on the “sale” table at Barnes and Nobles?

Obviously there haven’t been deep enough cuts to USAID.

Should be more than enough to pay for the in-house care that’ll be needed going forward.

His attempt to rewrite history.

the book grift deserves more scrutiny. there’s no money from the actual sales of the book to general public, it all comes from taxpayers or political donations

-every library places an order for multiple copies
-the DNC will use donation funds to preorder a shite ton to “sell” or “give away”
-all Act Blue/Dem PACs do the same

it’s essentially just a quick way to funnel dollars to a politician, especially since they don’t actually write or have anything to do with the book …it’s even more absurd with the children’s books

How is he going to write his memoirs when he can’t even remember what happened yesterday?

quote:

---

Book advances of the latest form of bribery/pay offs.

Bribe/pay off for what? He has zero influence in public policy anymore. He’s holed up in his basement in Rehoboth Beach with a drool bucket hanging from his neck.

I’m always amazed at how people fawn over career politicians as “public servants” when they end up with tens of millions of dollars in net worth.
