Fire and Fury in the Lead

U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized author Michael Wolff’s book Fire and Fury about the White House. He has called it "fake", "garbage", and "really boring and untruthful." However, the president would probably be the first person to admit, that there is no such thing as negative publicity.

While the publisher Henry Holt, a Macmillan imprint, predicts that overall sales could reach some 1.4 hard cover copies, we take a look at the most recent sale figures for the first week of February. According to the Publisher's Weekly magazine, more than 62,000 copies were sold from February 2 to 8, 2018, alone.

There actually is the destict possibility that Fire and Fury could outsell Trump's own bestseller Art of the Deal.
