“Do u” care to hear from former first lady Melania Trump? The wife of Republican presidential nominee/perpetual defendant Donald Trump is set to release her first memoir, Melania, this fall, her office announced Thursday. The book is being framed as the “powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence. The former first lady invites readers into her world, offering an intimate portrait of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life.”
The memoir will be published by Skyhorse Publishing, which has also printed titles by Trump allies such as former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney Alan Dershowitz, as well as presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. An official release date for the book has not yet been announced.
Melania Trump’s website lists the book as available for pre-order at three prices, all touting “stories and images never before shared with the public”: A $40 standard hardcover edition, available signed for $75, and a $150 collector’s edition, which is also signed and, according to the release, is “printed on premium art paper with a special custom white binding and adorned with black foil, blocking, and a ribbon marker.” If your interests beyond the former first lady also include the blockchain, Melania Trump has fantastic news for you: The collector’s edition comes with an optional digital collectible, “minted on the Solana blockchain.”
The website does not specify whether this edition is limited, nor is the release date listed on the site. A delivery timeline of 12-16 weeks is listed in the online cart.
Melania was recently spotted at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee by her husband’s side, even as sources are abuzz about her rumored lack of enthusiasm about a potential second stay at the White House.
Thursday became a his-and-hers announcement day, as Donald Trump, too, shared that he’ll release a photo book, Save America, on son Don Jr.’s publishing imprint, Winning Team Publishing. It carries a $99 price tag for photos of Donald’s recent campaign, with captions reportedly written by the candidate. The cover features an image of Donald raising his fist onstage following the recent assassination attempt, which, in a statement published to her social media, Melania characterized as a plot “to ring [sic] out Donald’s passion—his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration.”
