Cicely Tyson’s new memoir has sold out on Amazon, a day after the Oscar-winning actress’ passing.
Tyson’s memoir, Just As I Am, was released this past Tuesday and quickly shot to the top of Amazon’s bestsellers list after the actress’ death was confirmed by her manager on Thursday afternoon. By Friday, physical copies of the book were sold out on Amazon, though they’re still available at Barnes & Noble as of this writing.
Tyson’s memoir is still available to read online through Amazon Kindle, or as an audiobook via Audible.

Mere hours after Cicely Tyson’s death, the multi-award winning actress’ just-published memoir is the bestselling book in America.
Released on January 26, Just As I Am has hit No. 1 on Amazon. However, it looks like you won’t be able to get your hands on the book anytime soon.
Published by HarperCollins, the 432-page book has proven such an obvious draw since Tyson’s death at the age of 96 on January 28 that it is “temporarily out of stock,” according to Amazon. No indication when Just As I Am will be back in stock on the Everything Store.
However, before you despair, an audio version of the memoir is still available from Amazon and others. To make that an even more alluring prospect, Tyson herself narrates in part on the audiobook, along with her How To Get Away with Murder co-star Viola Davis and Robin Miles.
