Just 32000 takers for selfie queen Kim Kardashian’s book
According to reports, Nielsen Bookscan (think of it as similar to TV ratings, but for books) pegs the number of copies of Selfish sold at roughly 32,000 – and that’s for the entire three months it’s been in stores!
Rebels: City of Indra has reportedly sold a scant 13,000 copies since its June 3, 2014 release.
The book focuses on the reality TV star’s collection of selfies, compiled through the years. Time Magazine gave the book a raving review but Selfish owners have not been quite as happy with Kardashian’s book.
So were the books that bad, or is it just that Kardashian fans don’t read anything that’s not on their phone? And despite her continuing to take an abundance of selfies, she’s no longer even using the #SelfishBook alongside of them.
Is it that people don’t wan to buy the cow when they get the milk for free?
She puts herself out there in her clothing, her social media posts, her television show and her everyday presence.
Kim Kardashian is known for bearing it all (as evidenced by her very explicit sex tape), and she has marketed herself as such.
Sommers says the book has actually sold closer to 125,000 copies, a number significantly greater than Radar Online’s report. The rest are probably gathering dust in some warehouse with Kris Jenner’s name on the lease.
On the bright side, the best thing to come out of “Selfish” are the hilarious customer reviews on Amazon and other similar sites, a few samples of which we will include below.
With a net worth of more than $85 million, Kim Kardashian is not used to her business ventures being anything less than a raging success.
