Sales of the confessional book, Beautiful Things, penned by President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, crashed after just one week despite a relentless public relations push, positive media coverage, an early surge, and the author’s tour with a friendly press.
If the famous maxim ‘any press is good press’ applied to Hunter, his book should have been a tremendous success. Hunter talked about his book with prominent “news†outlets and late-night talk show hosts. The memoir received overall positive reviews from corporate media critics. Moreover, the Daily Mail published a report that brought the “laptop from hell†back to haunt Hunter, with revelations on how he squandered millions on his salacious and drug-addled lifestyle, a part of his life covered by his memoir.
However, Showbiz411 reported Friday that Beautiful Things turned out to be a “flop after one week,†adding:
NPD Book Scan says [in] the book … Hunter whines about being a drug addict who slept around and has no memory of fathering a child, has sold just 10,000 copies [emphasis added] in its first week. For a celebrity book with so much PR, TV appearances, etc, that’s not a lot.
On Amazon, Beautiful Things is ranked at number 130.
Nevertheless, an early surge of sales based on Biden’s appearance on CBS Sunday Morning puts Beautiful Things at number 4 on the New York Times Bestseller list that comes out today. But that will be short lived.
