Former king's memoirs hit bookstores in Spain

Esther Gil, an employee of the Pasajes bookstore in central Madrid, said the shop had received around 50 pre-orders for the memoirs ahead of the Spanish edition's release. "This has been one of the most awaited books to come out," she told AFP as she stood by a table where copies of the memoir called "Reconciliation" were on display. "This is the first time the king has talked about personal stuff, and everyone was really curious about what he'd say. I guess it's partly just curiosity, but also a little bit of morbid fascination, and people love that."
