Bob Woodward's 'Fear' is the fastest selling book since 'Go Set a Watchman

Almost every week, there's a new book about the Trump White House. But Bob Woodward's book is in a category of its own.

"Fear" came out on Tuesday. And it is already one of the top selling books of the year — not just on the politics shelf of the bookstore, but in the entire store.

On Wednesday, Barnes & Noble said "Fear" has had the "fastest sales for an adult title since Harper Lee's 'Go Set a Watchman' was released in July 2015."

The bookseller called the pace of sales "phenomenal" and "amazing."

It's a testament to the widespread interest in, and concern about, the Trump presidency. Woodward's book describes a dysfunctional White House where some of Trump's own aides think he is a danger to national security.

The only similar book that has sold as well as "Fear" this year is Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury," which painted a similarly disturbing portrait of the president.
