Woodward book breaks 93-year publishing record
By Joe Concha - 09/13/18 08:47 AM EDT

Bob Woodward's new book, "Fear: Inside the Trump White House," sold more than 750,000 copies through its first day of release, the most for any title in Simon & Schuster history, according to the 94-year-old publisher.

The tell-all book by the veteran Watergate reporter, who has written books about every administration dating back to President Nixon, was powered by excerpts published before the book's public release Tuesday and President Trump's public rejection of it. Trump called the book "a con on the public" consisting of quotes that are "made up frauds" designed to boost Democrats ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

The 750,000-plus copies sold combines sales of print copies, ebooks and audiobooks, according to a statement by Simon & Schuster.

The publisher also announced that it ordered a ninth printing, sending the total number of hardcover copies in print above 1.15 million.

Yeah, people with undying faith in the veracity of the legacy media and their premier icon, Bob Woodward: The man who brought down the hated sitting republican president, Richard Nixon.

Bring out the clapping seals.

If that is true that doesn't say much for the Simon & Schuster record of past publications.
