“Going Rogue” has gone platinum.

HarperCollins spokeswoman Tina Andreadis said Tuesday that just two weeks after publication, Sarah Palin’s memoir has sold 1 million copies. The print run for “Going Rogue” has been increased again, to 2.8 million copies. The original printing was 1.5 million, then moved up to 2.5 million.

“Going Rogue” joins a select club of million-selling political memoirs that includes Barack Obama’s “The Audacity of Hope,” Hillary Rodham Clinton’s “Living History” and Bill Clinton’s “My Life.”

I think it is safe to say that “going rogue” has its benefits – figuratively and literally. In this instance, I am referring to possible presidential candidate and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin; as those of you already know, Ms. Palin is on a book tour, promoting her book, “Going Rogue”.

And from the way things are looking this early in her book-selling endeavor, things are looking up for her. How much so? The book, put out by Harper Collins, as of this writing, has sold 700,000 copies – which includes pre-orders – in its first week of release, according to a publishing official close to the former Alaskan governor.

Her memoir debuted November 17 with a first printing of 1.5 million copies; on Friday, Harper Collins announced that the printing would increase to 2.5 million copies. I don’t think I need to implore you to get your own copy of the book.

Sarah Palin’s upcoming memoir is already the top bestselling book on the shopping sites of Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, a month and a half before the book goes on sale.

The memoir from last year’s Republican vice-presidential candidate, titled “Going Rogue: An American Life,” is scheduled for release on November 17, four months after the book deal was announced and much earlier than planned. [The book immediately hit the #1 spot on Amazon’s non-fiction bestseller list and has consistently remained there.]

The memoir, which became available for pre-order this week, has been in Amazon.com’s top 100 for three days, and just replaced the latest novel from “Da Vinci Code” author Dan Brown at the top of the list.

“It obviously bodes well that there’s so much interest and excitement,” said Tina Andreadis, spokeswoman for HarperCollins, the book’s publisher and a unit of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.

Andreadis declined to project the book’s ultimate sales potential.

It is typical for highly anticipated books to jump in the bestseller ratings as soon as they become available for pre-order, said Amazon.com spokeswoman Sarah Gelman.

For example, Brown’s book, “The Lost Symbol,” topped the list immediately after becoming available as a pre-order in April, she said.

“The Lost Symbol” is now the second-best-selling book on Amazon.com, followed by “Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government” by conservative commentator Glenn Beck.

Palin, 45, the conservative former governor of Alaska, became a household name last year when Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain chose her as his running mate in the 2008 election campaign.

During the campaign she was criticized for being inexperienced and for saying her foreign policy experience was strengthened by Alaska’s geographic proximity to Russia.

Palin resigned as governor in July, a move Andreadis said gave her more time to write and contributed to the book being released before the original spring 2010 timeline.
