12 copies! Oh my god!

Didn't Chantelle's do really bad as well? Like 16,000 or something.

Not really, it was published on an independent publisher, John Blake Publishing, unlike her last book which was a best seller and was published via Harper Collins.

It's a pity though, I bought it and thoroughly enjoyed it, more so than her previous one. It made me view CBB5 in a very different light and it was interesting to hear about her cancer.

Oh and Princess, I don't know exactly how by how much, but I do recall hearing Chantelle's did awfully in terms of sales.

I'm not shocked. Her last one was a best-seller, and her life is in Heat everyweek anyway. Take into account that it's by a independent publisher and she did no promotion for it. I have her last book, and will get this one too.

Does anyone believe she actually sat down in front of a PC and typed either of her books out?

Well if that book actually sold 12 copies (highly doubt it) then 5 of them are on Amazon.

Seems so unofficial.
