Memoirs are becoming a throwaway problem

A travel company sounds the alarm: Because many guests deliberately leave Prince Harry’s memoirs in the hotels, the books are piling up.
The lost and found offices in the most popular resorts are full of the Harry books. At first you would have taken the whole thing with humor and believed it was a coincidence. But now it has become a real problem. The company has bookshelves full of “reserves”. The hotels have now been asked not to send the books back: “Otherwise we’ll never get rid of them all.” It is now planned to give away the returned copies online.
That’s what Prince Harry’s autobiography “Reserve” is about
Prince Harry released his autobiography, Spare, as the work is originally called, earlier this year. With his memoirs, Harry caused a stir, but also amazement. He described above all his broken family relationship with his brother Prince William (41) and his father King Charles III. (74). His stepmother Queen Camilla (76) and his sister-in-law Princess Kate (41) also get their fat in it.
Shortly after the publication of the book, “Reserve” quickly turned out to be an absolute bestseller. Prince Harry even made it into the “Guinness Book of Records”: With 1.43 million copies sold in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, no non-fiction book has sold better on the first day than Prince Harry’s memoirs.
