Booksellers hail strong sales for Donald Trump exposé, but Tom Kerridge’s diet book sets the most British tills ringingAlmost 60,000 print copies of Michael Wolff’s Donald Trump exposé Fire and Fury were sold in the UK last week, but the British public’s New Year’s resolutions meant the explosive political title was pipped to the No 1 spot – by Tom Kerridge’s Lose Weight for Good.In the US, Wolff’s account of the early months in Donald Trump’s White House is in its 11th printing, according to US publisher Henry Holt, which has 1.4m hardback books on order and has shipped more than 700,000 copies to date. It made No 1 on the New York Times bestseller list based on two days of sales, but in the UK, Wolff’s book missed the top spot by more than 10,000 copies, with Kerridge’s title selling 70,302 against Wolff’s 59,468, according to newly released figures from Nielsen BookScan. UK publisher Little, Brown told the Bookseller it had also sold “tens of thousands” of Fire and Fury ebooks and audiobooks, with 330,000 copies shipped.
