Despite an initial order of 10,000 copies, Gill & Macmillan publishers have already had to order a second print-run of Mary O’Rourke’s memoir Just Mary. It has topped the hardback bestseller list since it was launched by former president Mary McAleese just over three weeks ago. Another 10,000 copies of the book will arrive in the Gill & Macmillan warehouse this week as the book’s runaway success sees it outselling Fifty Shades of Grey author EL James and Cheryl Cole, who has also just published her memoir.
Mary will be Eason bookshop, Athlone Towncentre this Sunday November 11 from 2.30pm to sign her book Just Mary.
