An Update On Boris’s Best-Selling Memoir ‘Unleashed’

[Hymie]

What with the publisher reportedly foolishly giving Boris a £2 million advance – it looks like it will be available in Poundland before TTT has got around to reading the Forward of his copy.

you really need to stop taking in media that just tells you what you want to hear with no context.

I assume you meant Foreword.

Boris will be laughing either way- if youre' right, he has his 2 million advance, so even if it flops he'll not be too bothered. But it's not a flop at the moment. Good of you to give it some publicity though.

Fingers work at a different speed to my brain.

It sold 42528 in the first week. They cost up to £30 but I got mine half that so lets do 15x42528 that's £638k in a week. Any publisher would be delighted with that. Of course sales drop from the initial peak but they'll be steady and pick up again near xmas. Then there is the perpetual sales of paperback versions. £2m advance was a very good deal, I'd say the publisher is delighted.

Poor old hymie makes himself look a wally again! PMSL!

Chapter One: By The Skin Of My Teeth.

 

Boris Johnson’s Unleashed (William Collins) has managed to cling on to prime position in the Official UK Top 50 for a second week selling just 133 copies more than Tim Spector’s The Food for Life Cookbook (Jonathan Cape). Johnson’s majority reduced by 62%, while Spector sees a decline of 47%

So I'd hazard a guess Boris is a cheap sell anything ***?

Please let me know if I'm incorrect 🙄
