So much for cease and desist letters. The publisher of the new book on Trump will go on sale tomorrow, four days early:
CNN – The publisher of Michael Wolff’s new book about President Trump is rushing it onto bookshelves.
“Due to unprecedented demand, we are moving the on-sale date for all formats of ‘Fire and Fury,’ by Michael Wolff, to Friday, January 5, at 9 a.m. ET, from the current on-sale date of Tuesday, January 9,” a Henry Holt spokeswoman told CNN Thursday afternoon.
Booksellers were notified of the decision earlier in the day on Thursday.
The move came hours after a personal attorney for President Trump sent a cease-and-desist letter to Henry Holt and Wolff demanding that the book not be released.
Instead, the publisher is doing the opposite.
Wolff tweeted about the publisher’s decision to speed up the release: “Here we go. You can buy it (and read it) tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. President.”
Wolff’s TV book tour has also been moved up. He was originally going to appear on NBC’s “Today” show next Monday. Now he’ll be on “Today” on Friday morning.
Do you remember the movie called “The Last Temptation of Christ?” It was so controversial with protests and all, that when it finally came out all the controversy made the movie incredibly popular.
Trump basically just contributed to the books popularity by trying to stop the book from being published. Of course the book would have been popular anyway as it sounds like it dishes hard on Trump. But the fact that he wanted to stop the book from being sold is just going to help it fly off the shelves.
