The former Secretary of State’s memoir about her childhood releases today, with a requisite appearance on the The Today Show this morning and a less predictable matchup with Regis and Kelly. She will also appear on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tomorrow night.

Most libraries have ordered just one of the two versions and classified it in adult.
