Joker bookshop boss puts Prince Harry’s memoir Spare next to Bella Mackie’s How to Kill Your Family in window

A BOOKSHOP boss gave passers-by a laugh yesterday by placing Prince Harry memoir Spare next to Bella Mackie bestseller How to Kill Your Family in his window.

Alex Call arranged the display so copies of each appeared together at Bert’s Books, in Swindon, Wilts.

Alex, 35, said: “We thought it would make everyone laugh.

“Most people have taken it in the spirit in which it was intended but a few think it’s a bit mean.”

Meanwhile, Spare was said by its publisher, Transworld Penguin Random House, to be its fastest-selling non-fiction book ever.

More than 400,000 copies were sold, it said.

Mick Gaffney, 63, was among those buying the book in Windsor.

He bought two, one for his wife and one for his daughter — but does not plan to read it himself.

Mick said: "My wife Amanda kicked me out of bed especially to come and get her and my daughter a copy.

“They are both huge royal fans and have been following everything that Harry has been saying in his interviews.

“I’m not planning on reading it - I won’t have to because my wife will tell me all about it instead.”
