      Better question: who the fuck buys books written by politicians? Do we not get enough free bullshit from them?

        Let’s say, you wanted to reward a politician for supporting your political beliefs, you can’t just… give them money now can you?

        But, you can help them get a book deal, and then when the book comes out you can buy a bunch to donate to libraries or something. This has the benefit of artificially inflating the sales numbers and getting it on a best sellers list.
