After laying out a seven-figure advance for US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's memoirs, her publishers are counting on seven-figure sales.

　　The account of her years in the White House will have a first printing of 1 million copies, her lawyer said. The 576-page book, entitled "Living History" and two years in the writing, is scheduled for release on June 9. An audio version, read by Clinton, will be released the same day.

　　"Only a small handful of books have a 1-million-copy first printing, and I cannot think of another non-fiction book in recent history that has had that large a first printing," Robert Barnett, Clinton's lawyer, said.

　　The first lady-turned senator was paid an US-million advance by Simon & Schuster. Foreign rights have already been sold in 16 countries, from South America to Europe to Asia.
