Harry Windsor v Harry Potter in book sales

In a book-selling duel, Harry Potter has the advantage. Fiction sells better than non-fiction.

A spare heir is garnering copious spare cash. Prince Harry’s memoir shifted 400,000 copies on its first day in UK shops. That takes the disgruntled royal into the same bracket as another famous literary Harry.

The Prince’s book Spare was produced with ghost writer J.R. Moehringer, who has also written biographies of Andre Agassi, Nike co-founder Phil Knight and bank robber Willie Sutton. It has broken non-fiction records worldwide, having sold more than 1.4 million English-language copies in all formats in the US, the UK and Canada.
