I hate to seem petty, but does Melanie's eyes seem less squinty to you?
May the bridges I burn light my way.

"I really don't care, do you?"

Moar at the link.Nearly two months ago, CNN reached out to Melania Trump’s book publisher to request an interview with the former first lady ahead of her upcoming memoir. After several exchanges about a possible interview, the publisher sent an unusual demand last week: an interview would cost $250,000.
In an email to CNN, Skyhorse Publishing sent a document labeled, “Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement” that laid out strict terms for an interview and use of material from the book, titled “Melania,” due to publish on October 8. On top of that, the agreement stipulated that “CNN shall pay a licensing fee of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000).”
CNN did not sign the agreement.
Days later, after a separate CNN journalist asked Skyhorse Publishing about the exorbitant interview fee, the publisher said it had sent the payment demand by mistake.
“Neither Melania nor anyone from her team knew anything about the NDA and the document that was sent reflected an internal miscommunication,” Tony Lyons, the president and publisher of Skyhorse, told CNN in a statement. “Had CNN signed an NDA, in the normal course of business, we would have approached Melania’s team to discuss [specifics of the interview],” Lyons said.

Whoops, we accidentally demanded a quarter million dollars for an interview.

Now that I think about, I'd imagine that she believes that she has strongly supported the rights of women to bodily autonomy by marrying a man who is wealthy enough and powerful enough to ensure that she personally (and likely also her son's sexual partners) are "free from any intervention or pressure from the government" if they chose to use contraceptives or have an abortion.

I can't recall the last time a book cover was kept so secret. I think Tuesday is the day. I can wait...

Also, "Presidents" and "World Leader Biographies" typically sell 10s of copies.
And, the Publishers put it into those categories for whatever reason.

Publishers choose what categories (and key words) they want their books to be associated with when listing their books on Amazon or anywhere else. There is a list of main categories, and countless sub-categories. You pick a bunch. There are no tests, no exclusions; its just marketing.
US Presidents is appropriate and obvious for a First Lady's memoir.
