Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue is due out Nov 16

Simon & Shuster

Sarah Palin will be Oprah WInfrey's guest on November 16, to help launch her book Going Rogue: An American Life.

While the vaunted "Oprah Effect" on books -- which turned obscure titles into bestsellers overnight -- peaked years ago, this tv appearance is notable because Oprah (a long time Obama supporter) didn't have Palin on her show during the 2008 election.

One TV industry reporter writes:

"Supposedly, this will be Palin's first interview to promote the book. Oprah doesn't take seconds.

"The quid pro quo is November is a sweeps month and Palin produces huge ratings."

Right now, Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue: An American Life, is the subject of a price war between Wal-Mart and Amazon. Amazon is offering Palin's forthcoming title for only $9.00 -- and that's in hardcover. The book was an instant bestseller the moment it became available for pre-order on Amazon, hitting #1.
