![]() Collectors who hold-off until all the hoopla settles down will likely be able to pick-up a bargain. ![]() One can assume that as the number of signed Clinton books increases, the prices will invariably go down. Personally signed copies of the book tracked this week on eBay sold for between $217 and $445, the low price mostly a reflection of the seller's poor feedback rating. Poor and lackluster reviews notwithstanding, Clinton's "My Life" is already setting sales records, and interest in Clinton's book as a collectible is strong. All these books have widely been described as boring, too modest, too self-serving or lacking in character. ![]() "The book, which weighs in at more than 950 pages, is sloppy, self-indulgent and often eye-crossingly dull - the sound of one man prattling away, not for the reader, but for himself and some distant recording angel of history." This excerpt from Michiko Kakutani's stinging review in the New York Times of President Clinton's newly released memoir casts the book among the lot of autobiographies penned by recent presidents, including those of Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. ![]()
