According to Forbes, the book sold 31,900 copies between publication in May 2017 and the end of the year. Crunching the numbers, Forbes says this means the book has earned around $1.1m (£772,000), of which the publisher will have received $566,000.

Forbes estimates that this means Portfolio – which has yet to comment - has lost “at least” $220,000 on the book.Anthea Turner was paid £400,000 for her life story, Fools Rush In – which sold 451 copies in its first week Continue reading...
