Crown says that they have recorded sales of 775,000 copies for former President George Bush's DECISION POINTS in its first week on sale in all editions, including ebooks, audio and export editions. As was the case with the opening-day sale, they say it's the largest first-week sale for any nonfiction title published by Random House, Inc. since former President Bill Clinton's book in 2004.
eBooks comprised "more than 100,000 copies, or approximately 14 percent of all units" sold (and at least 50,000 ebooks were sold the first day by the company's prior report). Crown says they have reprinted another 350,000 hardcovers, making 1.85 million copies in print.
Publisher of Crown Archetype Tina Constable says, "We are thrilled by the huge launch-week sales of Decision Points across all formats and distribution channels, reflecting the American book-buying public's keen interest in President Bush's own words about some of the most historically important decisions he made during his leadership of our country. Our retailers and we expect his book will be one of this holiday season's biggest-selling titles."
