I believe it was Pope John Paul ll, back in the 90s that went at 8.5 million. I think Hillary Clinton's deal was around 8 million dollars. Mar 30 05, 1:20 PM

Sorry, you asked for which book. I'm not sure about the pope's--could have been 'Crossing the Threshold of Hope', or 'The Splendor of Truth'. Hillary's was 'Living History'. Mar 30 05, 1:28 PM
