Boris Sells More Copies of Memoir in Three Weeks Than Cameron Did in a Year
Boris Johnson’s memoir Unleashed is flying off the shelves. Figures show it sold a whopping 67,000 copies in its first three weeks on sale. More than David Cameron’s memoir sold (63,513) in an entire year…
Guido’s done a breakdown of former Prime Ministers’ memoirs released after 2017. And the number of copies sold in their first week on the shelves:
- Boris Johnson’s Unleashed sold 42,528 copies.
- David Cameron’s For the Record sold 20,792 copies.
- Gordon Brown’s My Life, Our Times sold 3,309 copies.
- Liz Truss’s Ten Years to Save the West sold only 2,228 copies.
Meanwhile, Theresa May’s publishers didn’t even bother to advertise how many copies had been sold for her memoir “Abuse of Power”. Must have been grim numbers. Readers are judging the book by what’s beneath the cover…
