Sorry. Haven't seen the Blunketty thing yet. But I can report that 'The Egyptologist' is a fiendishly good read, albeit by another hand.

27,000? Is that all?

With all the publicity you've had, the fact the book has forced the resignation of a senior cabinet minister - something quite unprecendented, I'd say that sort of derisory figure was something of a disappointment.

Perhaps it's a case that events in the Westminster Village are important to those who live and work there, but those of us living in the real world don't give a toss...

It would be interesting to see a geographic breakdown. I'd guess that sales in London would be disproportionately high.

Have the book, but haven't read it yet. I am impressed with the sales and I congratulate you. Thanks for the updates, I think its rather neat (as a fellow author) to see just how effective all that publicity was for your sales.

I can feel a race horse and a tax bill in the air.....can you?

Stephen, well done. I trust the racehorse industry will soon enjoy a welcome influx of cash! People who make tart remarks about your book are just jealous. As someone about to write a book, I am envious.

Really well done. 27,000 for a non-fiction book on a subject unlikely to interest those outside the political trainspotting crowd is pretty good going.

Norman Fowler's "Ministers Decide"-- always cited by publishers as the reason they won't do politicians' memoirs-- sold under 3,000 in hardback. And he had been a professional journo.

No publisher could be found to take on a biography of either William Hague or Ian Duncan Smith for a long time.

That's a further measure of the disconnection even of the educated elite from party politics. How many would a Blunkett book have sold without the timely whiff of scandal coinciding with the Christmas present-buying season?

Let's face it, Westminster politics is dead except as fodder for gossip. Democracy has killed it by trivialisation.

Didn't the Fowler book come out at roughly the same time as Alan Clark's original Diaries? It was a dull enough read in its own right without that sort of competition!

(and yes, I have read chunks of it - a relative of mine bought a remaindered version for a quid or so after he'd heard it was the most boring political autobiography ever written)
