Bush memoir sells 220,000 copies on first day

NEW YORK — Former President George W. Bush's memoir "Decision Points" sold at least 220,000 copies through its first day of release, with more than 20 percent generated by e-book purchases.


Random House Inc. announced today that opening-day sales, representing 95 percent of accounts reporting, was the publisher's highest since former President Clinton's "My Life" debuted with 400,000 sales in 2004. Bush's book came out Tuesday with an announced first printing of 1.5 million copies.

1. Yeah, but Clinton's probably sold to actual people

Whereas Bush's is probably being bought in bulk by the pharmaceutical companies and others who use it for giveaways - that's how Ann Coulter's books always had such large sales.

2. Actually,

it's frightening to think that more than 200,000 people want to read Bush's book.
