@Ernie for when this resolves at EOD, based on the available data, it seems like Isaacson is pretty far ahead https://www.axios.com/2023/12/02/elon-musk-sam-bankman-fried-book-sales. (Luckily there's an Axios article that makes the explicit comparison).

The verdict is now in: Walter Isaacson, by a mile. His Elon Musk biography sold 228,521 copies in its first eight weeks in bookstores.

  • That's more than three times the 72,860 books that Michael Lewis' "Going Infinite," about Sam Bankman-Fried, moved in the same timeframe.

That being said, I can't see a live, up to date total booksales tracker anywhere (I mean, we only hear when it gets reported), so it's also possible this is N/A if you need explicit, exact numbers. (Especially re: all other versions of the book).

Thank you. It's too bad how hard it is to find this kind of thing out. I just saw the economist article about how the list is biased politically.

got a ruling? or planning to N/A? or wait til you can find more data?
