Hillary's First Mill

Sen. Hillary Clinton sold a million copies of Living History in just one month. And while Harry Potter sold more in his first hour, the Clinton number is impressive nonetheless: it makes her book one of the fastest-selling memoirs ever. Simon & Schuster's Carolyn Reidy told the media that, while the house knew it had a bestseller, what was "exciting" was the "speed with which this book has achieved such unprecedented sales levels."
