by Brian Stelter @brianstelter

The publisher of "Fire and Fury" has finally caught up to all the demand for the book.
Henry Holt, a division of Macmillan, announced Wednesday that it has sold "1.7 million copies across all formats including hardcover, digital and audio books." That's a phenomenal number for any book -- and even more remarkable considering almost no one had heard of "Fire and Fury" until three weeks ago.
Demand for the book about the chaos in President Trump's White House greatly exceeded supply, and some customers had to wait weeks to snag a hardcover copy. But bookstores are now receiving fresh shipments and sites like Amazon are no longer reporting order delays.
Henry Holt said in a press release that "there are now 1.5 million hardcover books in print after 22 printings."
The book, by controversial media columnist Michael Wolff, is based on unique access to the White House and explosive interviews with top aides like Steve Bannon.
The publisher expected the book to be a hit -- but top executives admitted they were surprised by just how intense the reaction was.
