Hillel Italie of the Associated Press reports that the books about convicted Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff released in the past month have not been flying off the shelved.
Italie writes, “According to Nielsen BookScan, neither a much-discussed tell-all by alleged ex-mistress Sheryl Weinstein nor a recent wave of biographies about the imprisoned financier have caught on with the public.
“Weinstein’s ‘Madoff’s Other Secret,’ a tabloid favorite published last month by St. Martin’s Press, has sold just 2,000 copies.
“Jerry Oppenheimer’s ‘Madoff With the Money’ has sold 1,000. Gerard and Deborah Strober’s ‘Catastrophe’ and Andrew Kirtzman’s ‘Betrayal’ each sold 3,000. Eric Arvedlund’s ‘Too Good To Be True’ has been slightly more successful, selling 5,000 copies.”
