Hillary Clinton No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list

Publishers Lunch

In the daily Hillary Clinton Hard Choices numbers game, Simon & Schuster put the total first week's sales at an unspecified number above 100,000 and publisher Jonathan Karp told the AP they are "elated" at the opening as "this book is on a trajectory to be the best-selling nonfiction book of the year." Other accounts have S&S sources putting the actual number at around 120,00 units. The book will be No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, but is No. 3 on the USA Today list and No. 4 on Nielsen Bookscan's list -- behind two editions of John Green's The Fault Is In Our Stars was well as the first week sale of Diana Gabaldon's Written In My Own Heart's Blood.
