It is rare for books to sell hundreds of thousands of copies in a single week.
But Mary Trump’s tell-all book “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man” sold 950,000 copies by the end of its first day of sale.
Mary Trump is President Trump’s niece.
Publisher Simon & Schuster says her book sales set a new record for the company.
That number includes presales as well as e-books and audiobooks.
Retail experts say the book’s record-setting sales reflect a significant appetite for books that offer inside accounts of the Trump administration.
Mary Trump’s book does not portray Trump in a flattering light.
Trump sued to prevent the release of the book.
He argued it violated family confidentiality agreement.
But a New York judge ultimately allowed its release.
