Sarah Palin's latest literary trove lands with a 275-pound thud in Juneau Friday morning: Almost three years after media outlets requested the emails she and husband Todd sent while she was governor, Alaska has set Friday as the official release date, reports the Anchorage Daily News. The state is handing out paper copies of the 24,199-page tome to media outlets and others who forked over the $725.97 copying fees, and making one copy publicly available ... in Juneau. A Democratic lawmaker is pushing the state to make copies available elsewhere, but MSNBC says it plans to convert the paper version to digital format and publish the emails online.
