Bill Clinton's memoir "My Life" set a record for first day non-fiction sales with 400,000 copies bought in the United States, the former president's publisher said Wednesday.
With Clinton's 957-page tome selling so well on its first day, publisher Alfred A. Knopf said it has ordered another 725,000 copies from printers in addition to an initial print run of 1.5 million copies.
"This is a record-breaking number for a work of non-fiction," said Sonny Mehta, president of the Knopf Publishing Group, adding that sales were "exceedingly strong" in other countries too.
In addition to the book sales, Knopf said Clinton racked up first day audiobook sales of 35,000.
