Disgraced Journalists Fail To Find Book Audience

Disgraced journalists Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass have had a flood of publicity for their books. But despite the free promotion, neither one has sold very weel. Blair’s book had an “announced first printing of 250,000 but had sold only about 1,400 copies as of last week, according to Nielsen BookScan. Glass’s effort came out in May and had a first printing of 75,000. Nielsen BookScan has reported sales of 3,400 copies.
