Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation has made the best-selling book charts at Amazon and Barnes & Noble a day after it was released online.
Skyhorse Publishing’s version of the redacted Mueller report, which was made available online Thursday through the Justice Department, includes an introduction from Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz. The book is already No. 1 on Amazon’s best-selling charts, as of Friday morning.
At No. 2 on Amazon is the Washington Post’s version of the report, which touts the analysis provided by the outlet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning staff. They claim their version, published by Scribner, is the “most complete and authoritative available.”

Melville House is also publishing a version of the report and was ranked No. 13 as of Friday morning. The no-frills version intentionally doesn’t provide content beyond the report itself.
“It’s supposed to be a non-partisan document, and readers should be given the respect of experiencing it without someone digesting it for them,” Melville publisher Dennis Johnson said in a statement.
All three versions of the book, sold in hard copy, are among the top 10 best-selling books at Barnes & Noble.
Independent counsel Ken Starr’s final report of the Whitewater case was released to the public and was published in a book called The Starr Report: The Findings of Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr on President Clinton and the Lewinsky Affair in 1998. Starr’s investigation eventually led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton for lying under oath about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Clinton was acquitted by the Senate in 1999.
