As of the week ending July 18, Pulitzer winner Tinkers has officially topped 100,000 copies sold of both physical books and e-books, according to numbers compiled by Nielsen BookScan and Perseus’s Constellation digital service. Bellevue Press (distributed by Consortium) published the debut literary novel by Paul Harding.
According to David Steinberger, president and CEO of Perseus, which is Consortium’s parent company, Tinkers sales are tracking ahead of three of the last five Pulitzer winners. Steinberger projects that it will have sold through “close to” 300,000 copies by Christmas in physical and digital formats. Harding will continue doing events in the fall.
