New York (CNN) Mary Trump's tell-all book had sold a staggering 950,000 copies by the end of its first day on sale, publisher Simon & Schuster said Thursday. That figure, which included pre-sales, as well as e-books and audiobooks, is a new record for Simon & Schuster, the company said. Just two weeks ago, Simon & Schuster celebrated the success of another Trump tell-all book, that one by former National Security Adviser John Bolton. The book, "The Room Where It Happened," sold more than 780,000 copies in its first week of sales. It is rare for books to sell hundreds of thousands of copies in a single week of sales -- and most books will never sell that many.
