Mary Trump's book breaks record with mammoth sales

New York (CNN)Mary Trump's tell-all book had sold a staggering 950,000 copies by the end of its first day on sale, publisher Simon & Schuster said Thursday.

That figure, which included pre-sales, as well as e-books and audiobooks, is a new record for Simon & Schuster, the company said.

The book, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man," went on sale Tuesday and portrays President Trump in an unflattering light.

Just two weeks ago, Simon & Schuster celebrated the success of another Trump tell-all book, that one by former National Security Adviser John Bolton. The book, "The Room Where It Happened," sold more than 780,000 copies in its first week of sales.

My copy is "out for delivery" today. Can't wait. IIRC, that's better than Bob Woodward's book Fear for a similar time period (preorders plus first week). I think Woodward's book sold around 750,000.

finally getting even with her "family" about being screwed out of her inheritance, but I am overjoyed that Don the Con is reading (or more likely watching) about her book's success and pissing acid!
