- Story Text: Michael Wolff's book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" sold out quickly at several Washington, D.C. book stores as it went on sale on Friday (January 5).
The release of the book, which is deeply critical about Trump's first year in office, was pulled forward after published excerpts this week set off a political firestorm, threats by Trump lawyers of legal action and an effort to halt publication.
"The content of the book is so juicy," said 23-year-old, Olivia Leatherwood, who snapped up a copy at Politics and Prose in Washington's Wharf district.
"I think it's the book of the month," added Daniel Zhang, 22, who said he had read excerpts online with his roommates. "We laughed the whole way through."
The store said its 30 copies had sold out shortly after the doors opened, either by walk-in customers or by people calling to reserve them. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
