'FIRE AND FURY' PUBLISHER STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH DEMAND FOR EXPLOSIVE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE EXPOSÉBY CHANTAL DA SILVA ON 1/8/18 AT 12:32 PM
The publishing company behind Michael Wolff's explosive new book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House is racing to print more copies to keep up with consumer demand.
The company had printed advance copies of the book, but a source close to publisher Henry Holt told CNN it hasn't been enough to keep up with demand from booksellers looking to keep their shelves stocked.
Some stores have reportedly been forced to set up waiting lists, while Amazon listed physical copies of the book as "temporarily out of stock" on its website as of Monday afternoon, warning customers that they should expect a two to four week wait to receive their editions. Digital versions of the book remained available.
The book has held its top spot on Amazon's bestsellers list since last Wednesday, when early excerpts were published in a New York magazine article detailing the Trump administration's first days and claiming the leader did not plan or want to be president.

Maybe the hardcover is more now but when I first check it was 20 and change. I really feel the kindle should be 10 bucks or so.
I bought it anyway.

delivering the digital copy pays the other two and takes a profit.
