Bob Woodward's new book, Fear, is released today, and it is already a huge hit. CNN reports that, due to extraordinary reader demand, Simon & Schuster has already printed one million copies of the book, which describes a White House in disarray and an administration that believes the president is incapable of leading the nation.

Fear is currently the year's fifth best-selling book on Amazon, outpacing James Comey's A Higher Loyalty, which came out in April. As CNN points out, the only Trump-related book of 2018 that Fear has not yet outsold is Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury, which remains at No. 1.
