Kim Kardashian’s book of selfies, accurately titled “Selfish,” is a huge flop. Wow, who didn’t see that one coming? Apparently, no one is interested in buying a book full of pictures of Kim’s face. Shocker. Seriously, who would spend money on Kim’s selfies when they could just go on the internet and look at photos of her naked for free?
According to a new report from Radar Online, Kim’s book’s sales were dismal at best. A source from the publishing company reported to Radar that “Selfish” had only sold 32,000 copies since it hit the shelves of bookstores in May 2015. That’s only about 10,000 sales per month, for the last three months. By the end of the year you will most likely be able to pick up the KUWTK star’s book in the bargain bin of your local grocery store for less than $5.00.
Who could really fault Kim Kardashian for trying though? If you think about it, even selling 30,000 copies is still basically going straight to her pocket. It’s not like she had to shell out money for photographers, editors, or ghost writers. In a way it is kind of genius, let’s charge people for a book full of cheap photographs that cost basically little to nothing to create. Then again, maybe if she had hired some sort of marketing guru to handle the book launch they would have explained to her that no one was going to pay for a book full of pictures that they could see on her Instagram and Twitter page for free. She probably should have used pictures that weren’t already plastered all over the internet.
Were you one of the 30,000 suckers that actually did buy “Selfish?” Why do you think the book was a total flop, other than the obvious reasons? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
