Mike Lindell drains nearly half his campaign cash to buy copies of his own book

13. I looked at his book page on Amazon

The book originally had a holographic cover so that it would be like Mike was in the room with you. But only the non-holographic version is available now, "For Correctional Facility Shipping ONLY". Under "Products related to this item" is a laminated quick-study guide to the DSM-5-TR, which is "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders 5-TR". That seems appropriate.

I was trying to see whether it was self-published and the page count to roughly calculate how much it's costing him per copy when he's buying them up with campaign funds. The publisher is "Lindell Publishing" so probably self-published but no page count listed. It costs me around $4 per copy for author sales of my book so figure that may be what it's costing him, in which case he bought around 46,000 copies. If he is doing a retail buy, that would be about 13,000 copies and he's making a couple dollars profit on each. He must be doing a retail buy because he can't possibly have the space to store 46K books.
