Former President Barack Obama's “A Promised Land” sold more than 1.7 million copies in North America in its first week, roughly equal to the combined first week sales of memoirs by his two immediate predecessors and among the highest ever for a nonfiction book.
Crown announced Tuesday that it had increased its initial print run from 3.4 million copies to 4.3 million. Sales also include audio and digital books. “A Promised Land,” the first of two planned volumes, was published Nov. 17 and sold nearly 890,000 copies just in its first day. Among former White House residents, only Obama's wife Michelle approaches his popularity as a writer. Her"Becoming," published in 2018, has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and is currently in the top 20 on Amazon.com.
George W. Bush's “Decision Points” sold 775,000 copies its first week and Bill Clinton's “My Life” topped 1 million in eight days. The two presidential memoirs have now each sold between 3.5 and 4 million copies, totals that Obama's book should easily surpass. No nonfiction comes close to the pace set by J.K. Rowling's “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which in 2007 sold more than 8 million copies in its first 24 hours.
Woo hoo!! Congratulations BarackObama
Obama keeps winning. He’s a WINNER.
Without even seeing it, I can expect it is full of LIES, half truths, and total BS.
I heard Mr. Trump is writing a book “How I got cheated” 😂🤣😂
RealDLHughley Shouldn't have sold nothing, its all bs anyway. A bs person writes bs stories.
Stop giving the worst president in the USA any attention.
RealDLHughley 1.5 million of them bought by Ali Khamenei.
RealDLHughley Trump is asking for a recount.
Only a fool will by his book. Barack Hussein Obama has 8 years of failed legacies🥺. The accomplishment he got was suckering fools🥶 to elect him a 2nd term and having his sloppy seconds😁 to attempt to revive him.
Billionaire Obama
Isn't capitalism great? Good for him.
... and around 10,000 times more than his successor's memoirs ('The Art of the Jail').
Capitalism always wins
Whole lot of dumbasses out there
President Trump is by far the best President in U.S history :)
Trump book .. I am dumb as hell is out but it a coloring book
Rubbish, bad guys, liars, coyotes
ABCNews(D) covering Obama.
Trump best get his book started or he will be poor all his life. He can't have the family business back after 4 years of his kids Inside Trading
Obama should send autographed copies to Trump and Putin.
When Biden writes his book it should sell a lot more copies since he is the most popular president ever in the history of man according to 2020
Wonder if Obama has read it yet
A lot of ignorant people
I would not pay one penny for this
It is because smart people read other smart people’s books.
He forgot to talk about his corruption and back room deals to see tje country
Trump’s biography will be bought up by guess who? The GOP😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Now watch the GOPs lose their snowflake minds!
Listening to it via audio. Really good! 😊
🤢
Yay! Just the beginning 🇺🇲
But did people read it and understand it when he flat out said he bombed people so he doesn't look weak
Two biographies before he's out of middle age? Narcissism & corruption on steroids.
A beloved former President
LOOSER

A great read🇺🇸
Bought it on audibleuk love his voice.
People still read?
what a joke - even a book sale has to be taking side along party lines - smh! Quit the damn political bias
How many legit copies of Donald Trump Jr’s Triggered were sold (before the RNC bought a warehouse full and then gave out for free because no one was buying them) were sold the first week
The millionaire who cries how America was so unfair to him! Bullshit. Lets ask Obama if he doing anything to help him hometown of Chicago where unfortunately too many black people are innocently killed!
He sure knew how to get rich off the Presidency. Sure did not do anything for the American people.
realDonaldTrump book is going to probably sell pretty well. 'The Art of The Failure' will probably have lots of pictures in it. It will probably be a short read since he only has to cover 4 yrs unlike 8 when you get a second term.
Trumps colouring book memoir will beat it.
Bias corrupt Globalist MSM (mains sewer media). Globalist fraud and corruption have won the US election. Democracy has ended.
They were printing fake ballots using the paper from the books
Great book, he walks you thru his political life step by step.
We are in a pandemic. There is a toilet paper shortage.

Communist propaganda worthy of the burn pile.
I didn't know W. could read/write. Hmm.
They said there was a run on toilet paper.
I want to support and help sincere and sincere people, to change the bad conditions of my life. For fifty years I have been suffering from poverty and deprivation. The tweet for profit and trade is not a reality
Damn
Toilet paper.
