The Guardian reports that booksellers worldwide have predicted that Hillary Clinton's unpublished memoir could be the biggest book of the year.
It's always time to celebrate for booksellers when a book does phenomenally well. They bring in extra profit with every sale. Such was the case with E.L. James' "Fifty Shades of Grey", and such may be the case with Hillary Clinton's unpublished memoir, which is yet to be titled. According to a report by The Guardian, booksellers are predicting that the Secretary of State's fifth book could be the biggest book of 2014.
The book will reportedly contain details of events including the killing of Osama bin Laden, the Arab Spring and the rise of China. "Throughout, Secretary Clinton will offer vivid personal anecdotes and memories of her collaboration with President Obama and his national security team, as well as her engagement with leaders around the world," said Simon & Schuster, describing Clinton as a politician who has "redefined the meaning of 'trailblazer' in every phase of her career on the world stage, as First Lady, senator, secretary of state, and notably, as an author."

Foyles' Jonathan Ruppin says he doubts there'll be a bigger political book out in 2014. I agree with with him!!!
