Just one retail chain was enough for Taylor Swift to have the top-selling book last week and the biggest publishing launch of 2024. According to Circana, which tracks the the print market, Swift's "Eras Tour Book" sold 814,000 copies over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The Eras Tour Book is 256 pages, hardcover, and includes over 500 images, described as "never-before-seen performance photos from every era" as well as "exclusive rehearsal photos and behind-the-scenes images of instruments, costumes, set pieces and designer sketches." It's more of a coffee table book (a large, lavishly illustrated book, especially one intended only for casual reading). Do you own any coffee table books?

Sales soared even as Swift skipped Amazon.com and other retailers and as some fans complained online that the $39.99 book included typos and other errors. Representatives for Target and Swift did not immediately respond to requests Wednesday for comment. If you discovered errors in a $39.99 book, would you ask for a refund? Yes
