Melania Trump’s book “Melania” has fallen to number 20 from 11 on Amazon.com on its first day of publication.

Is it selling? Only 26 people have filed verified reviews and about half of them are negative. They call the book “contrived” and lacking much content.

But even worse, the production of the book from Skyhorse Publishing is getting low marks.

One reviewer wrote: “Book is great… who ever handled the book sent one that is scratch and has a sticky substance on the cover.”

Another said: “Damage to book jacket front and back and just looked at these pages that were messed up on inside of book. Waiting for replacement. Thanks”

Shoddy production on a Trump product? Are we surprised? Think of all the cheap companies Donald and Melania have fobbed off on the public. It’s not like “Melania” is a hard book to print properly. And no, these things don’t happen often in the book business. These are rare complaints.
