I hope someone beats the to death with his own book.

That's the only reason I'd buy it...

Why does he keep writing books? Is it to stop him barking at the Moon? His last effort sold virtually no copies, who keeps publishing him?

Apparently I have little or no grasp of how the publishing industry works. They keep on paying large sums to politicians/celebrities/etc of very limited appeal, when an average man-in-the-street like me could tell them that there's no chance of even recovering the advance.

Is there some reason I don't know about - does it maybe increase their credibility in the publishing world to have, for example, an ex-PM (however st) on their list?

You all want him to be remembered as the worse PM ever the fact is he won't even be remembered
