There’s a high demand for Palin’s memoir this holiday season. The former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate’s memoir is hitting bookstores on Nov. 17, but it’s already made No.1 spot on both Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com based on overwhelming preorders.

Titled “Going Rogue” and published by HarperCollins, the book is a 400-page memoir which chronicles Palin’s personal and political life thus far in her own words. Working with author Lynn Vincent, it took the pair approximately 4 months to finish writing which was quicker than originally planned. (The initial release date of the book was set for this upcoming spring.) The memoirs were completed just two months after Palin resigned as governor of Alaska.

Currently, printing for the book is set for 1.5 million copies. It is Palin’s first book.

At the start of October, the cover for the book was first revealed. The cover will feature Palin outdoors with a clear blue sky behind her; she will be wearing a red fleece with an American flag pin as she smiles confidently into the horizon.

Outselling Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol” online at some points, “Going Rogue” could quite possibly be this year’s most anticipated literary release. The popularity of preorders for the memoir can be attributed in part to Palin’s overwhelming popularity with grassroots Republicans.

The listed price for “Going Rogue” is $28.99, but preorders on Amazon are running as low as $15.65 .

Below is a video from CNN Politics on how the book got its title and some details about what readers can expect:
