Sir Steve McQueen disclosed on The Colbert Report (2005) that when Solomon Northup's autobiography, "12 Years a Slave," was first published in 1853, it sold terribly due to other, more popular books released around the same time. In fact, when the book was released, it sold more than 30,000 copies, making it a bestseller in its own right. He also said that the interest that the film has generated has put the book back on the bestseller list.
