Will anybody buy Harry's book now that it has been leaked?

[Blip]

Will anyone still want to buy Spare now that everyone already knows the contents?

Is this a financial disaster for the publisher?

Library borrowing makes a small amount for the writer.

People will definitely buy it. Otherwise they won’t be able to frantically start and partake in threads about him on here.

I'm buying it on the strength of what's been leaked! It sounds very entertaining.

I am more likely to buy it after the leaked bits, personally. I have very little interest in the RF but this book is genuinely different.

I might buy it if i see it in a charity shop 😁

I've pre ordered. The Scum, The Daily Hate and the rest of the press will only put the bits that they hope will cause the most upset because they hate Harry and Meghan as they've spoken about them. I want to hear all of it.

I manage a charity shop ... not sure that I would want to put it out on sale .

The book is number one on Amazon UK...
I am sure that some of the couple’s detractors have pre ordered their copies….

Do you sell any autobiography at your shop? If so do you check to make sure they don't put their family in as bad light?

Rocky I find it very hard to sell any biographies to be honest ... the market is saturated with all sorts of 'celeb' biographies that no one seems to want to buy ...

That's true and often by people in their early 20s. I did but Keith Richards but I'm a fan.

I did. I pre ordered just out of curiosity but have now cancelled.

I have ordered but I may not bother listening to it. It is long and not exactly family friendly.

No

No, but I wasn’t going to buy it anyway.

It sounds even worse than I was anticipating. Lip gloss and dog bowls… 🥱

Hmm… I would’ve done before the leaks came out… and the leaks have certainly made me giggle when I’m getting over flu… but honestly I think he’s so privileged and tone deaf it’d make me pretty annoyed so answer is no :)

Yes.

Leaks have made me pre-order it so I can read the whole thing myself!

Charity shop purchase is an excellent idea - obvs H&M would be thrilled at another chance to support good causes

It will be a massive success for the book trade.

Despite being a life-changing disaster for Harry.

Toilet roll is cheaper

I don’t want to buy the print copy, but I wouldn’t mind listening to the audio book. Isn’t Harry reading it himself? Be interesting to hear his tone in some of the fruitier passages.

I think it's eleven p .I think I can live with borrowing it from library 😂

I won't buy it but only because I assume someone else will and they'll pass it on once they've read it.

I think everyone will rush to buy it and then in a few months there will be millions of copies lying around. It's not like it's the kind of book you would read more than once.

I’ll buy it when it’s in the works for a fiver

very annoyed at myself as can’t stand them and think most of it made up
can’t work out when I want to read it
