Nearly three weeks after its release, the Mueller report is still a hot property on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
On April 19, the day after Special Counsel Robert Mueller III’s “Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election” was released by the U.S. Department of Justice, two different versions of that report held the top two spots on Amazon’s bestseller list, according to Variety. The first was an edition by Skyhorse Publishing titled, “The Mueller Report: The Final Report of the Special Counsel into Donald Trump, Russia, and Collusion.” Its 640 pages featured an introduction by Alan Dershowitz and supplementary documents including Rod Rosenstein’s 2016 order appointing Mueller as special counsel and portions of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the 1999 provisions written by former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, which establish and regulate the special counsel’s powers. The second spot was a version of the report by the Washington Post and published by Scribner. At 736 pages, it also included supplementary documents and analysis by the Post’s staff. A third, no-frills version was published by Melville House, including only the text of the report and “with no positioning or framing apparatus — such as a celebrity introduction — that would give it bias or impede its clarity,” the publisher said. That version entered Amazon’s chart at #9.
