John Bolton's 'Room Where It Happened' Book Pulls in Large First Week Sales
Former national security adviser John Bolton's "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir" sold over 780,000 copies in the first week, its publisher Simon & Schuster said Wednesday.
“We expect it to be at the top of the bestseller lists in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, as well as in the United States,” said Jonathan Karp, Simon & Schuster’s chief executive, via WSJ. “The public clearly is fascinated in what Bolton has to say in this election year, and we expect the curiosity to continue.”
The publisher has already ordered an 11th printing of the book, which will bring the number of hardcover copies in print to a million.
