Walter Isaacson's authorised biography of Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs sold out in China within a day of its release.



From SiliconRepublic:

The book was being sold in 21 cities in China. People stood in a queue for hours at Shanghai's largest bookstore, with the entire stock of 1,000 books, priced at 68 yuan (US$10.70) each, selling out by midday on Monday, the China Daily newspaper reported.

Commonwealth Publishing Group has said the book is currently out of stock, but 30,000 new prints of the book would be issued every day to meet market demand. As well, an e-book version of the biography is to be released early next year, the China Post reported.
