My Life’ sells out in a month
Bill Clinton’s “My Life” needed just one month to sell out its initial printing of 1.5 million copies, publisher Alfred A. Knopf announced.
The former president received a reported $10 million for “My Life,” which Knopf published June 22 with a suggested price of $35. The book sold 400,000 copies on the first day alone, believed to be a record for nonfiction, and more than 2.5 million copies are now in print.
The audio version has already sold 150,000 copies, far more than most books in that format.
Clinton has been touring the country in support of his memoir and has personally signed more than 30,000 copies, according to Knopf.
