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.
