A Washington, D.C., bookstore reportedly sold out of copies of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" minutes after its release.

Kramerbooks ran out of the book, which chronicles President Trump's first year in office, within 20 minutes of its midnight release, according to BuzzFeed News's Chris Geidner.

Photos and video of the DuPont Circle bookstore posted online in the early hours of Friday showed a packed house as dozens of eager readers stood in line to get a copy of the bombshell book.

Sold out in Philly too.  From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

"Want a copy of the juicy, tell-all book about the Trump White House? Get in line.

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, the explosive new book by journalist Michael Wolff that has the White House and Washington in a tizzy, was shipped to bookstores nationwide four days early after excerpts captured headlines this week. And copies of the book are flying off shelves in the Philadelphia area.

The Rittenhouse Square branch of Barnes & Noble, at 1805 Walnut St., sold out by 10 a.m. Friday, just an hour after doors opened, according to a book seller. The clerk, who wished to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak about orders, wouldn’t say how many copies sold. But the employee did say the store is expecting to get more copies next week, when publication was originally scheduled.

<snip>

No local bookstores contacted Friday morning had any hardcover copies of Fire and Fury available............"

I guess people like gossip.  I'm betting the best parts have already been released.

I downloaded the first little bit for free to read on my kindle. I'm debating it's got a long list at the library but I'm bored because I'm snowed in.

It's selling to people who already despise Trump.  I think they are wasting their money.  As someone suggested here, the juciest parts have already been leaked and the rest is probably boring poor writing.

I ordered an electronic copy from Amazon. I doubt there is anything in the book that I don't already know about Trump. It's kind of obvious but I purchased it to make a point. Trump tried to silence this author and shut this book down. That made it all the more interesting to me. This must be another one of Trump's genius moves that I just don't get.

That's why I ordered a copy. I have a thing about the government trying to ban any book. I have a bit of a collection of them.

Yeah, right.  But we all know why you ordered the book and can't wait to be curled up with it.

@Emjay

So? 

As a Cruz supporter, or so you say, you should understand Trump is getting a taste of his own medicine.

I’ll let you know the highlights when I get my copy.
