The English language edition of the Duke of Sussex’s controversial memoir sold more than 1.4 million copies on its first day of publication.
Penguin Random House, which published the headline-grabbing autobiography Spare on Tuesday, have reported its largest ever first-day sales total for any non-fiction book published by the company. According to the publisher, the English language edition of Spare sold more than 1,430,000 units in all formats and editions in the US, Canada and the UK on January 10 when it first hit bookshop shelves.
Speaking about the record sales, president and publisher of the Random House Group Gina Centrello said: “While many books by public figures can be fairly categorised as ‘celebrity memoir,’ Spare is not that. Vulnerable and heartfelt, brave and intimate, Spare is the story of someone we may have thought we already knew, but now we can truly come to understand Prince Harry through his own words.
