instead, "the seduction of hillary rodham" sold very poorly; the "post" characterized it as "a disaster". to illustrate, the paper reported that a washington bookstore had only sold eight out of 30 ordered copies and a baltimore bookstore only three out of 50. brock has said the book sold less than half of what the anita hill book had, which given the "post"' estimate would mean "seduction" sold less than 50,000 copies.
