Driving the news: The Duke of Sussex's hotly anticipated book has been selling like hotcakes since its release a week ago.

  • Publisher Random House printed 2.5 million hardcover copies for North America alone, Axios' Hope King writes.

Yes, but: Good luck snagging a loaner copy any time soon.

  • There were around 1,941 holds on 550 copies between the 23 Columbus Metropolitan Library branches as of yesterday.
  • In addition, there were 344 holds on 35 audiobooks and 240 holds on the 73 large print copies.
