E. Jean Carroll's book sells for fortune after Alina Habba mentions it at Trump trial
During proceedings in writer E. Jean Carroll's second defamation trial against Donald Trump, his lawyer Alina Habba asked Carroll to explain the title of her book "Female Difficulties: Sorority Sisters, Rodeo Queens, Frigid Women, Smut Stars and Other Modern Girls."
According to CBS News, Habba's line of questioning didn't reveal anything significant. But thanks to the fact that the trial is being closely watched by the media and the public, her mention of the title has caused used copies of the book to fetch thousands of dollars.

"On Friday morning, a used copy of "Female Difficulties" was listed for about $2,141 on used book site AbeBooks, but by Friday afternoon the book was no longer available. Another copy was available on Amazon for $999.99. Bibio is selling a copy for $199," CBS News reported.
In a post to X Tuesday, New Yorker writer Emily Nussbaum said she heard the 1985 book was mentioned in court this week.
"So I bought it and I'm reading it and it's *GREAT*," she wrote. "Got it online for $80, well worth it."
