The Remainders of the Day.
Looks like the sequel to PJK 's "All tip, no iceberg" ought be "all iceberg, no lettuce."
DESPITE the hype surrounding its launch — or perhaps because of it — The Costello Memoirs has suffered weak sales in its first five days in the stores.
Readings book stores report that only 100 copies sold at their five Melbourne retail stores last week — mostly at the Malvern store near Mr Costello’s seat of Higgins.
Other Melbourne retailers, having ordered from 50 to 100 copies for each store, also report patchy sales.
Borders chain stores have already slashed the $55 recommended retail price by up to a third and other stores are already offering discounts.
