Alaska bookseller will donate profits from Sarah Palin's book, 'Going Rogue,' to Defenders of Wildlife

Now, this is mavericky.

An independent bookseller in Sarah Palin's home state is donating the proceeds he makes off her book to a group that is among the biggest critics of the former Republican vice presidential candidate.

Don Muller owns Old Harbor Books in Sitka. He's selling Palin's memoir, "Going Rogue," for $28.99, and says he will donate profits to Defenders of Wildlife.

The wildlife conservation group often butted heads with Palin over her support of the state's predator control program, in which bears and wolves are shot from aircraft.

Muller says he's not a fan of Palin. He tells the Daily Sitka Sentinel that donating proceeds to Defenders of Wildlife is a way to "carry the book and do something positive."

Since he's selling the book at full price, I doubt if he'll be selling many, everywhere else is selling it at a discounted price.

You obviously don't know much about Alaska, much less Sitka, where most people will buy the book locally to make a point if nothing else. I would expect him to get some out of town orders as well...

A noble idea, but still nobler would be to sell gift memberships in Defenders of Wildlife instead. (Zero money to Palin or her publisher.)
