In reply to the discussion: Just ordered the Bolton book on Amazon. [View all]MineralMan
(151,273 posts)29. Actually, they won't. A few passages will be selected and
discussed by the talking heads on the cable news talk channels. The rest will not become part of the discussion. I will read the entire book and will have comments on things not being widely discussed, no doubt.
As for giving money to Bolton, I'm not all that concerned. At the low price for the hardback on Amazon, there's not enough money going to Bolton from one book to buy a decent coffee drink at Starbucks.
My library has many books in it that were written by scoundrels of one sort or another. That I own them and have read them has nothing to do with my opinions of the authors.
I do not rely on third parties to tell me what is in books. Instead, I read them.

I find it interesting that it's already out there and that Mary Trump's book will be soon.

did you just break the law? or do you break the law when you read the book?

I'll trust others to read the book and report back if they find anything interesting.

I'm sad because Amazon doesn't ship books to my region anymore except in Kindle form.

The free Cliffs Notes versions provided by reputable press is good enough for me
