Meyer's Bree Tanner Moves Over 350K In Two Days

June 9, 2010
By Michael Cader

Little, Brown Children’s says that they sold over 350,000 copies of Stephenie Meyer’s THE SHORT SECOND LIFE OF BREE TANNER in the first 48 hours of sale in the US. They also tabulate that 15,000 people around the world have read the free online version “in its entirety.”  (In 2007 her third book ECLIPSE sold an estimated 150,000 copies in its first day; in 2008 the publisher estimated first day says for BREAKING DAWN of 1.3 million copies.)

Publisher Megan Tingley says in the announcement “we have every confidence that with the upcoming Eclipse movie release that Bree’s shelf life will be anything but short.”

In the UK, reporting print sales as measured by Nielsen BookScan UK, the Bookseller says the title “sold 89,549 print copies in a little under 19 hours, becoming one of the fastest-selling books since records began.”
