Hunter Biden s new autobiography, Beautiful Things, posted disappointing sales in its first week on the shelves, selling just over 10,000 copies despite a massive promotional push.
The new 272-page book detailing Hunter s struggles with addiction and tragedy debuted at No. 12 on the Publisher s Weekly hardcover nonfiction chart, after selling a meager 10,638 copies.
It was edged out slightly in the rankings by The Calcium Connection: The Little-Known Enzyme at the Root of Your Cellular Health.
Topping the list was poet Amanda Gorman s The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country, which sold 42,000 copies for the week.
The sales for Beautiful Things were viewed as disappointing in light of Hunter s international PR blitz that saw him appear on the BBC, ABC s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and two separate interviews with CBS News.
