Biden Pulled in Less than $201 in Book Royalties
Vice President Joe Biden is not making too much money off his book Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics. Last year, in fact, he made less than $201 in royalties from his book publisher, according to just-released disclosure forms.
Books sales are an early proxy for voter interest. I'd say the voters aren't.

#6  I read he got 122,500 as an advance from the publisher so not a bad deal in all.

#9  He should have gone indie, he'd have gotten more royalties, although less of an advance.

#11  The better sellers include a pack of crayons, so maybe it was on marketing.
