Scoop: "Regime Change" sells 500,000 — on track for nonfiction bestseller of '26

"Regime Change," by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, has sold over 500,000 units in its first month. This includes hardcover, audio, and e-book formats. The book is projected to be the top-selling nonfiction title of 2026. Simon & Schuster has ordered a seventh printing, totaling 460,000 hardcovers. Despite earlier concerns about the decline of nonfiction, this book's success is exceptional. Its widespread appeal transcends typical political narratives. Reviewers note the book's ability to offer a unique insight into Trump's second term. The authors successfully uncovered details from a previously guarded White House. Its factual accuracy remains unchallenged, even by Trump's team. "Regime Change" has topped bestseller lists in several countries, including the New York Times nonfiction list for three consecutive weeks. Its success challenges recent claims about the "dying breed" of political and current affairs books. This book's strong sales demonstrate a continued public appetite for well-reported narratives.
