Prince Harry’s forthcoming memoir, Spare, is unlikely to be championed by independent bookshops because of how heavily it has been discounted by larger retailers, according to booksellers.
Spare will be published on 10 January by Penguin Random House, with the recommended retail price set at £28. However, it is already being offered at a discount by Waterstones, Foyles and Amazon, all of which are selling it for £14. Even at preorder stage, the book is in the Top 10 in Amazon’s bestsellers list.
