First week sales of Prince Harry’s book Spare were far below a record set by Barack Obama.
Spare sold just 629,300 copies in the US. Obama’s memoir, A Promised Land, sold 200,000 more when it was published in 2020, according to NPD Book Scan.
Nevertheless, Spare remains at the top of all best seller lists this week.
Publisher PenguinRandomHouseetc has to be disappointed. They expected 1 million in sales for the first week after a barrage of publicity.
Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
Thank you
