........... Sold almost a million print, digital and audio editions of the book on the first day it went on sale .... Breaking Simon and Schuster's first day sales record ....... Apparently it's a hit ..... Remember there are a lot of bored people that are still on lock down and sequestered in their homes ... They will lap this stuff up and quote it as scripture to their fellow Anti-Trumpers .....
Keep in mind there are 100’s of 1000’s of bulk sales in this number, books bought by the campaign and affiliated groups who then offer them to Biden followers as an incentive for them to donate to the Biden effort.
It’s like money laundering.
These are almost all "sight unseen" sales. The question is whether word of mouth from these buyers (and stores) and borrowed copies will be so stellar that it continues to set new sales records and has to be reprinted. . .
In other words, I'd put my money on the remainder bin and the mulch factory for this one. The odds that a noob writer had anything fascinating to say, had an eye for the telling detail that convinces, told a great story that made the ghostwriter's work easy, plus is a real looker with a gift for interviews and "the camera loves her" . . . are slim. This was sold for the advance and the one-day pop. Don't hold your breath--the publisher won't.
