Jordan’s autobiography has no takers

Bookshops threatened Jordan’s 4th autobiography with a boycott.

London: Jordan’s autobiography, her fourth in five years, risks having no takers after bookshops threatened it with a boycott. Leading chains are said to be against stocking up the glamour girl’s latest memoir, fearing that they may be seen as helping her restore her “fallen” image after her bitter split with former husband Peter Andre.
"Bookshop managers are really worried. They fear this latest book could do more harm than good for business and are seriously considering shunning it altogether,” the Sun quoted a source at publisher Random House as saying. "Booksellers do not want to annoy their customers by putting out yet another autobiography from the same person who has already had three printed. It seems to them as though she is trying to milk her fans for everything they`ve got," the source added. Meanwhile, Andre is allegedly making preparations for his autobiography in time for Christmas, another suggested reason why Jordan, real name Katie Price, could expect a ban on her memoir. The source said: "Reputable companies also do not want to get dragged into a sordid sales war where bitter partners are dishing the dirt on each other." Speaking about the mum-of-three’s latest endeavour, a spokesman for book chain Blackwell said: "She has done three already. This is not a book we would say to our readers, ``You must buy.``" ANI
