NEW YORK: Walter Isaacson's biography of Apple Inc co-founder Steve Jobs leapt to the top of the bestseller list in its first week in book stores, flying off shelves to the tune of 379,000 copies, according to Nielsen's BookScan.
"Steve Jobs," which came out on Oct. 24 from publisher Simon & Schuster, sold three times more copies than the next-bestselling book, John Grisham's "The Litigators."
In its first week alone the book became one of the year's 20 bestsellers.
It has been a year since any book has sold more copies in its first week. Both former President George W. Bush's autobiography, "Decision Points," and Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth," sold more than 400,000 copies in their first week last November.
