The former president has mostly shied from the limelight since leaving office -- except for a high-profile stint raising money to help Haiti recover from a devastating earthquake -- and kept a low political profile.

The former president spared a little bit of nostalgia for his eight years in office, telling the audience: "I miss being pampered; I miss Air Force 1; I miss being commander in chief of an awesome (military)."

The former president's book is expected to have a first run of 1.5 million copies, along with an e-book version containing a video message from the former president and his home movies, Crown publishers said earlier this month.

布什于本周二在家乡得克萨斯州的一所大学发表演讲，礼堂内座无虚席。他称离任后不久，爱狗巴尼在邻居家草坪上“随地大小便”，使他不得不面对明显让自己丢份儿的时刻。
