Memoir
"A Promised Land", the first volume of former President Barack Obama's memoir covering his presidential campaign and first term in office, is set to be published on November 17.
"I've spent the last few years reflecting on my presidency, and in 'A Promised Land' I've tried to provide an honest accounting of my presidential campaign and my time in office: the key events and people who shaped it; my take on what I got right and the mistakes I made; and the political, economic, and cultural forces that my team and I had to confront then — and that as a nation we are grappling with still," so Obama in a statement. "In the book, I've also tried to give readers a sense of the personal journey that Michelle and I went through during those years, with all the incredible highs and lows."
The memoir of Donald Trump's niece Mary Trump has solved 1.35 million copies in its first week after release. The book has been translated and sold in five different languages and is now in its 17th printing.
"Mary Trump’s memoir has transcended the usual ceiling for political books to reach a larger audience of people who want to read stories about unusual families," so CEO Jonathan Karp of Simon & Schuster.
Mary Trump's memoir "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man" will be released two weeks earlier than planned. The book was scheduled to be released on July 28 but due to "high demand and extraordinary interest in this book", it will now be available on July 14, so publisher Simon & Schuster in a statement on Monday.
In his 2010 self-published memoir "The Thrill of the Chase: A Memoir" Forrest Fenn, art and antiquities collector, describes a treasure chest containing gold, rare coins and other treasures hidden in the Rocky Mountains. On Sunday, Fenn announced on his website that the treasure, believed to be worth over $1 million, was found by an unnamed man "under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains."
Fenn wrote he had not moved the treasure in the ten years since hiding it and congratulates the "thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continue to be drawn by the promise of other discoveries."
