In January, thanks to a sale of 467,000 copies in its first week on shelves, Prince Harry's Spare (Bantam Books) became the fastest-selling nonfiction book since Nielsen BookData's official sales records began in the late 1990s. With a £28 recommended retail price (RRP) in the U.K., it is one of the most expensive books to have topped the weekly bestseller lists, and certainly one of most expensive memoirs-beaten only by Barack Obama's A Promised Land (£35 RRP), which spent three weeks at number one in the run-up to Christmas 2020.
