Nearly 1 million copies of Clinton memoirs sold

Former President Bill Clinton's memoirs have sold nearly 1 million copies in less than a week, his publisher said Monday.

Publisher Alfred A. Knopf said 935,000 copies of "My Life" had been sold by the end of Sunday, and the million mark should be reached soon.

"It's a certainty, we just don't know what day it will be," Knopf executive director of publicity Paul Bogaards said Monday. "It could be today, it could be tomorrow."

The book went on sale last Tuesday and sold more than 400,000 copies in the United States in the first day, the biggest debut ever for a nonfiction book and double the believed previous record holder, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's "Living History."
