Palin wraps up book tour this Saturday

Sarah Palin will wrap up her national book tour for “America By Heart” this Saturday in Anchorage, Alaska– a tour that has been dubbed a ‘warm-up lap for a presidential campaign.’

Palin’s last book, Going Rogue, was an immediate bestseller with sales of 1 million copies in the first two weeks alone, and her second installment has become a hit as well, appearing on the New York Times BestSeller List, even though (as some like to forget) it’s clearly an entirely different book.
