The CEO of Barnes and Noble in the United States announced that the sixth book will sell more than 50,000 copies in the first hour alone, which he said is more than most books sell in a lifetime.

On July 8, 15 copies of the book were accidentally sold in British Columbia, Canada. A court order was obtained from the BC Supreme court requiring the customers to return the books and not to discuss the content or even read it. They were also promised an autographed copy of the book in return for their cooperation, but not all of them have returned the book.
