Books Made Millions for Obama in 2008

This is news? The man can write, has a compelling personal story, and he was running as the first serious AA nominee for President of the United States. No brainer.

President Barack Obama earned between $1.1 million and $6.1 million beyond his Senate salary last year, much of it in royalties from his book “The Audacity of Hope,” according to financial records released by the White House late Friday.

The book earned the president from $1 million to $5 million. Obama’s other book, “Dreams From My Father,” earned between $100,000 and $1 million last year.

Obama signed an agreement Jan. 15, just before becoming president, to receive an additional $500,000 as an advance against royalties for an abridged version of “Dreams” rewritten in a form suitable for younger readers.

Obama Signed Book Deal Just Before Taking Office

Of course there's nothing wrong with it, it looks like the type of thing that would have been in the works for a while (it's just an adaptation fer christsakes). That won't stop someone somewhere (::cough:: Fox News ::cough::) bitching about it. Via Taegan-

Just a few days before being sworn in, President Obama signed a children's book deal that came with a $500,000 advance, the Washington Times reports.

"Analysts say there don't appear to be any rules that would bar such transactions after a president takes office, but it's unclear whether an incoming or sitting president has ever signed a book deal upon entering the White House."

The project calls for an abridged version of his book Dreams From My Father for middle-school-aged children.

President Barack Obama shortlisted for two British book awards.

At least the Brits will be showing him some love.

Mr Obama could be crowned Borders' author of the year for The Audacity of Hope, which outlines his own deep-felt political and personal values.

Also, his memoir of his early life and African-American heritage Dreams From My Father is a candidate for Tesco biography of the year.

The awards, which cover commercial bestsellers and literary prize-winners, give readers a say, with the winners decided by a mix of industry academy and public voting.

The Galaxy Book of the Year, the ultimate prize for the reading public's very best book of the year, will be selected on the night.
