F&F is not just sold out instantly in the US, it seems to have become an international hit:
North Korea praises 'Fire and Fury' book for foretelling 'Trump’s political demise'
Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAY
Michael Wolff's decision to publish 'Fire and Fury' after Trump's lawyers filed a cease-and-desist letter was an unprecedented move. Here's why.

Michael Wolff's revealing book about President Trump's White House has made its way to one of the most isolated corners of the planet: Kim Jong Un's North Korea, where state media praised it Thursday for foretelling "Trump’s political demise."
The book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, has received mixed reviews, with some critics and readers claiming it is an unputdownable expose of a juvenile and dysfunctional administration, and others saying it amounts to little more than unsubstantiated political gossip.
Pyongyang, though, gave it five stars (out of five).
North Korea's Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a commentary that robust sales for the book reflected "rapidly surging anti-Trump sentiments in the international community."
The paper added that the "anti-Trump book is sweeping all over the world so Trump is being massively humiliated worldwide" and that "voices calling for the impeachment of Trump are on the rise not only in the United States but also abroad."
Since the book was published about a week ago, it "has triggered a debate on whether Trump is qualified to be president, even in Western Europe," the newspaper said.

Fire and Fury pipped to No 1 in UK book charts by Lose Weight for Good
Booksellers hail strong sales for Donald Trump exposé, but Tom Kerridge’s diet book sets the most British tills ringing
Tue 16 Jan 2018
Almost 60,000 print copies of Michael Wolff’s Donald Trump exposé Fire and Fury were sold in the UK last week, but the British public’s New Year’s resolutions meant the explosive political title was pipped to the No 1 spot – by Tom Kerridge’s Lose Weight for Good.
In the US, Wolff’s account of the early months in Donald Trump’s White House is in its 11th printing, according to US publisher Henry Holt, which has 1.4m hardback books on order and has shipped more than 700,000 copies to date. It made No 1 on the New York Times bestseller list based on two days of sales

Fire and Fury is out of stock everywhere
Since its early release last Friday, Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury has become the hottest book in the country. The book, which purports to reveal the toxic inner workings of the Trump White House, has flown off the shelves so quickly that there are few left: You can’t get a hard copy of Fire and Fury, well, basically anywhere.
Amazon is expecting a two- to four-week wait. Barnes & Noble warns customers that they won’t have the book back in stock until January 19. The New York Public Library has more than 1,000 holds on its 49 copies. Independent bookstores report that they sold out on the first day the book was available. The supply here is not coming anywhere closeto meeting the demand.
It’s true that Henry Holt and Co. significantly underestimated the demand for Fire and Fury. John Sargent, the CEO for Holt parent company Macmillan, has said that Fire and Fury had an initial print run of 150,000 copies, and that to keep up with demand, Henry Holt has begun a second print run of more than 1 million copies.
