I apologize if this is old news and has already been posted.....I was off board for a while and this is new to me.

Apparently she'll do a brief media tour to promote her book.

Should be interesting to see what kind of physical shape she's in and if she actually says what's going on with her health wise.

how is she going to spin having cancer in spite of being "vegucated".

[tv910]

And the fact that she turned to "western medicine" when the tumor was discovered despite claiming for years that conventional doctors are frauds and don't know anything.

Wouldn't it be funny if she was interviewed via phone or ISDN line?

[Vashier]

That's quite possible unless this whole thing was a huge cover up for gastric bypass.

[Lou Cypher]

Damn, I never thought of that. You're probably right. They'll put up a graphic of her book cover and a really old picture, and "VIA Telephone" across the screen.

[Shithead]

Who the fuck would give her money to write a book?

the same fuckhead who's publishing lisa g's book i assume.

[Rupert Pupkin]

Who the fuck would give her money to write a book?

.....and knowing that she is ill and cannot do a book promotion tour?

Howard is still whining about the Baba Booey book tours....wa wa wa

I love this pic. It shows Booey checking out the cleavage on the young lady sitting next to him (I'd do the same thing, every guy would) and one of the last photos of Steve Langford still working for H100 News.

My guess it's not a lot of money or it might even (I'm stretching it here) be funded by donations from the 15Foundation.

Anyway, if the idea was based on the size of Howard's audience and cultural reach then it's going to make 20% of the reading audience disappear.

In this day and age publishers can make a shitload of money and not even have to sell or produce a large amount of actual paper books.
The electronic production and delivery system is cheap as hell.

There are certainly enough potential buyers of this book to make it more than profitable...All they need to do is sell in the thousands, not millions.

Well that could be true enough depending on how much they're paying Miss Quivers and what the publicity budget is...

It depends on your definition of "shitload of money." I think you are confusing risk exposure mitigation vs. substantial profitability.

The publisher has likely taken risk mitigation steps:
1.) Little-to-no advance
2.) Assigned the most junior editors, graphics designers, and copywriters (cheap)
3.) By contract, the cost of all promotion is deducted from any potential future payments to Robin
4.) The most important: a very limited first printing. They will tell Robin that strong initial sales will fund a second, larger printer and a second round of promotion.

Electronic editions? I'd guess the vast majority of the e-book crowd are at least minimally internet competent. It only takes a little research on their part to determine what a fucked up person Robin is. Why buy that book?

[HooHoo]

Who the fuck would give her money to write a book?

Same morons that would give John Hein or Eric The Midget a TV show, or Ronnie a block party, or Booey a book deal -- because they believe it to come with built-in advertising.

[Shithead]

because they believe it to come with built-in advertising.

Which meant something on terrestrial...Now, not so much

[1Vegasgirl]

This should be interesting. I hope she did something with her hair. Those long dreads are so ugly.

What hair?

I'm surprised she didn't get a wig years ago, she's so delusional I suppose she thought that ball of yarn on the top of her head was fooling people.

That is the wig.
