Bush’s ‘Decision Points‘ and Jeff Kinney’s ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth,'” Shaw reports. “That figure already makes it the 18th bestselling book of the year, according to Nielsen’s BookScan.”
Shaw reports, “Simon & Schuster, the book’s publisher, moved up its release from Nov. 21 to Oct. 24 after Jobs’ death.”
