Sarah Palin’s book is out today. A friend of mine, Lynn Vincent, helped her write it. (I don’t see a credit line on the cover, at least, so that’s disappointing.) Are you going to buy it? (If so, you might as well click on the icon below and let the Cranach Institute get a commission.) Why is there such hype about this book, which the media could easily have ignored as it does most political biographies, and yet it is getting this huge play in the mainstream media, ranging from the Oprah show to the staid Washington Post? And why does Mrs. Palin stir such frenzy from both sides of the political spectrum? (If enough of you read the book, maybe we can have a discussion of it next week.)
