Prince Harry’s Spare took the world by storm becoming an instant bestseller – now it has achieved a far less prestigious milestone.
According to We Buy Books, the Duke’s tell-all has been traded in more than any other biography this year since it was published on January 10.
A spokesperson for the company that buys “unwanted” books told the Telegraph: “Prince Harry’s Spare was our most traded-in biography of the year.
“We’ve accepted 459 copies. We limit how many we accept in a timeframe so chances are if we’d accepted every copy, there’d have been a lot more!”
Customers can sell unwanted books on the company’s website by typing in the ISBN and accepting the money offered. While Spare originally sold for £28, the company is offering customers £2.40 for their used copies.
The book sold around 400,000 paper, audio and digital copies in the UK becoming the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever. In the UK, US and Canada it sold 1.4 million copies in just the first 24 hours.
Prince Harry’s memoir left little to the imagination and, along with a series of interviews done by the Duke surrounding its release, rocked royal watchers around the globe.
It detailed several intimate moments in Harry’s life – including what he said was the loss of his virginity – and private interactions with the Royal Family.
