Trump's love for word "great" could end up causing great problems for his presidency. According to a report, incredible access to the White House insiders for the author of controversial book "Fire and Fury" may have been made possible by a phrase in author's pitch “The Great Transition".
Bannon's Mueller Meeting Looms Large for Trump
Five months after his White House exit, Steve Bannon remains at the center of the fire and fury surrounding Donald Trump.
Kathleen Hunter January 17, 2018
“Fire and Fury,” which quotes Bannon speaking disparagingly about Trump and his family, prompted the president to publicly and dramatically sever his relationship with the former aide. Jennifer Jacobs takes a closer look at (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-17/how-author-wolff-got-into-trump-s-white-house-for-tell-all-book) how Wolff gained so much White House access.
Among her findings: Wolff's pitch included a working title — “The Great Transition: The First 100 Days of the Trump Administration” — that signaled a sympathetic view.
With a Mueller meeting on the horizon, Bannon — and what he has to say about his time in Trump World — is likely to remain central to the president’s fate.

Fire and Fury pipped to No 1 in UK book charts by Lose Weight for Good
Booksellers hail strong sales for Donald Trump exposé, but Tom Kerridge’s diet book sets the most British tills ringing
Tue 16 Jan 2018
Almost 60,000 print copies of Michael Wolff’s Donald Trump exposé Fire and Fury (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jan/14/fire-and-fury-michael-wolff-inside-trump-white-house-review) were sold in the UK last week, but the British public’s New Year’s resolutions meant the explosive political title was pipped to the No 1 spot – by Tom Kerridge’s Lose Weight for Good.
In the US, Wolff’s account of the early months in Donald Trump’s White House is in its 11th printing, according to US publisher Henry Holt, which has 1.4m hardback books on order and has shipped more than 700,000 copies to date. It made No 1 on the New York Times bestseller list based on two days of sales

Fire and Fury is out of stock everywhere (https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/1/10/16875330/fire-and-fury-out-of-stock-depression-era-publishing-policy-henry-holt-macmillan)
Since its early release last Friday, Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury (https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516588&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FFire-Fury-Inside-Trump-White%2Fdp%2F1250158060) has become the hottest book in the country. The book, which purports to reveal the toxic inner workings of the Trump White House (https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/1/4/16845640/michael-wolff-trump-book), has flown off the shelves so quickly that there are few left: You can’t get a hard copy of Fire and Fury, well, basically anywhere.
Amazon is expecting a two- to four-week wait. Barnes & Noble warns customers that they won’t have the book back in stock until January 19 (https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516588&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.barnesandnoble.com%2Fw%2Ffir e-and-fury-michael-wolff%2F1127464088%23%2F). The New York Public Library has more than 1,000 holds (http://time.com/5090567/donald-trump-michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-library/) on its 49 copies. Independent bookstores report that they sold out on the first day the book was available (http://variety.com/2018/politics/news/trump-fire-and-fury-sales-1202655013/). The supply here is not coming anywhere closeto meeting the demand.
It’s true that Henry Holt and Co. significantly underestimated the demand for Fire and Fury. John Sargent, the CEO for Holt parent company Macmillan, has said (https://lunch.publishersmarketplace.com/2018/01/macmillan-1-million-fire-fury-hardcovers-process-sold-hundreds-thousands-ebooks/) that Fire and Fury had an initial print run of 150,000 copies, and that to keep up with demand, Henry Holt has begun a second print run of more than 1 million copies.
