Palin book tour to start Nov. 18

NEW YORK (AP) — Oprah Winfrey is only the beginning for Sarah Palin's book tour.

Starting Nov. 18, the day after Palin's "Going Rogue" is released and two days after she is interviewed by Winfrey, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate will make appearances around the country, from a Barnes & Noble store in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to the Army post in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

HarperCollins spokeswoman Tina Andreadis said Wednesday that the tour will run through at least Dec. 6, and that Palin will travel for part of it by bus.

"Going Rogue" has an announced first printing of 1.5 million copies and has been at or near the top of Amazon.com's best-seller list for weeks.
