More than 200 copies of K-pop phenomenon BTS’ newly released memoir were sold on Sunday, likely propelling Beyond The Story: 10-Year Record Of BTS to the top of The...
Asked how many copies of the book it has in stock, Kinokuniya responded: “We have enough stocks to feed battalions of book-hungry Army.”
But BTS’ memoir did less brisk sales over at Times Bookstores. A spokesman told ST that only four copies were sold on Sunday, out of its order of 120 copies in anticipation of the hype.In May, BTS’ memoir topped bestseller lists on the strength of pre-order sales, though there was some confusion over who had authored the then-untitled book with a huge initial print run of one million copies.
Some fans of pop star Taylor Swift had speculated that it could be the 33-year-old American singer’s memoir, citing hidden clues such as the book’s supposed length of 544 pages, with 5, 4 and 4 adding up to 13 – Swift’s lucky number.Though sales are healthy, bookstores might have been slightly underwhelmed by the response from BTS fans on the first day of sales. Best-selling authors such as Colleen Hoover often clock up 300 to 500 copies in the first week of publication.
