Hayden Panettiere Memoir Doubles in Price as Demand Surges
Barnes & Noble told Newsweek that the new price was "a solely stock-based decision."
The memoir of Hayden Panettiere, titled "This Is Me: A Reckoning," returned to its full $30 price at Barnes & Noble following the star's death. The book was initially advertised at 50% off as part of the retailer's Book Haul promotion. Barnes & Noble explained that the pricing change was solely due to high demand and low inventory, not a decision to change the price across the board.
The actor's death prompted fans to rush to purchase the memoir, which chronicles her experiences with addiction, recovery, postpartum depression, domestic abuse, and the loss of her brother. The book, published in May, became a New York Times and USA Today bestseller upon release and was praised for its candid discussion of fame and recovery.
Barnes & Noble told Newsweek that inventory is scarce across the market, but the publisher is considering additional print runs to meet the increased demand as interest in the book continues to grow.
