Prince Harry's memoir has broken records by selling more than 1.4 million copies in first-day and pre-order sales in the US, UK and Canada, according to figures from Penguin Random House reported by The New York Times.
"Spare," which went on sale Tuesday, has become the publisher's highest-selling non-fiction title on day one, with more than 400,000 copies sold in Britain alone. The figures include hardcover, as well as the e-book edition and audiobooks.
Gina Centrello, president of the Random House Group, said in a statement quoted by The Hollywood Reporter: "'Spare' is the story of someone we may have thought we already knew, but now we can truly come to understand Prince Harry through his own words. Looking at these extraordinary first-day sales, readers clearly agree, 'Spare' is a book that demands to be read, and it is a book we are proud to publish."
The popularity of "Spare" makes it one of the best-selling hardcover
titles in recent years. It's also the top title on Amazon.

bull crap on the sales. That MIGHT be how many they shipped, but even that number is suspect. Book publishing numbers shelved in the Fiction section of accounting.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for a photo of any individual actually BUYING that book of their own free will .
ReplyDeleteI doubt the sales number. It is like the inflation number given by the US government is not real.
