From what Mark said on his show...
The day of release the printers were in their FIFTH printing and had already turned out 512,000 books. (pre-orders and store sales) The stores were sold out the first day.
At the NY signing, there were 1,800 books. Mark said he could not sign any more than that. But he went thru the line and met everyone who showed up anyway. Sean Hannity bought picked up the tab for everyone’s coffee.
Mark announced that there would only be 1,800 books at the VA signing too. I guess he felt bad that all those ppl showed up in NY and didn’t go home with a book, so he made sure everyone knew there would be 1,800. Loo how many ppl showed up anyway!!
Apparently, Mark broke a record on amazon.com... most books sold in shortest amount of time in amazon history... or something like that.
Having listened to Mark since the beginning when he was an occasional fill in, then on one night a week... I am glad to see him become so successful.
I bought mine as an ebook for my Kindle. Wonder what the number would be if those orders could be added in! It is Number 1 in the Kindle Store.
