Boston Herald: Taking page from Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney readies book blitz

I hope Mitt Romney’s No Apology book tour is huge. Not only have I had this book pre-ordered since September, but I’d love to see him in general. Still haven’t ordered your copy of No Apology: The Case for American Greatness yet? Head over to Amazon and place your order now.

Former Gov. Mitt Romney could square off with Sarah Palin for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, but he’s already gearing up to take her on in the world of book sales.Palin’s bestseller has been racking up sales for the former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate, and now Romney’s team is planning an ambitious national tour for the March release of his new book, “No Apology: The Case for American Greatness.”

Romney aides in Utah are hoping for up to 10,000 fans at one of the first stops on the planned tour, a March 13 signing at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City. Tickets for the event go on sale later this week at www.MittRomneyUtah.com.

Published by St. Martin’s Press, the book comes out March 3.

“It’s an ideas book,” Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said. “Governor Romney’s premise is that we have to stop apologizing for America and do what is needed to keep it the world’s superpower with a strong economy, a strong military and strong values.”

Fehrnstrom said details on the national book tour still were being worked out.
