Despite the fact that Kim has 34.2 million followers on Twitter and 43.2 million followers on Instagram, the reality starlet's 448-page book of selfies has sold only 32,000 copies since its release in May, according to Nielsen BookScan.

"Kim is stressing out over how poorly her book is selling, because she thought it was going to be an easy way to make big bucks," an insider tells Star. "When she first presented the idea to publishers, her biggest selling points were her huge social media following and her ability to influence the masses. But now, she's starting to panic."

But that's not the only thing she's been stressing about. Nearly a week ago, the Kardashian reality star posted a bare-all selfie to prove to her haters that her pregnancy is in fact real after the rumor mill has been going about the case of her disappearing baby bump.

In an attempt to bump up lackluster book sales, five-months-pregnant Kim, 34, popped by the Los Angeles outpost of her fashion boutique, Dash, for an impromptu book signing and meet-and-greet with fans.

"She posed for countless selfies," dishes the insider. "Kim really thought the book would sell itself, but she has had to put in a lot of extra work in order to advance book sales and keep the publisher happy. She's even recruited Kris Jenner and Kanye West to help her promote the book."

A representative from the publisher Rizzoli claims that Selfish has total trade sales of approxmiately 125,000 copies—even so, a strikingly low figure in comparison to other celeb tomes, such as Lauren Conrad's book, L.A. Candy, which has sold 500,000 copies.

"This isn't Kim's first product flop," continues the insider, citing her single, "Jam (Turn It Up)," as well as her promotion of the Tria hair-removal system and a prepaid MasterCard. "And it may not be her last."
