Sales of O.J. Simpson‘s “If I Did It” book have exploded since the infamous star’s death, with the publication skyrocketing to the top of the charts.

76-year-old O.J. died on Wednesday — a day before the public found out — when the Simpson family announced the news … and reignited interest in the grizzly, 1994 double murders of Nicole Brown Simpson और Ron Goldman.

According to Amazon.com, the world’s largest bookseller, “If I Did It” sits in the number 1, 2, और 4 spots (different versions of the book — audio, abridged, unabridged) in the entire Criminology section. It’s also number 8 in the Murder/True Crime section.

“If I Did It” was originally written by O.J. and ghostwriter Pablo Fenjves … with the hypothetical premise of how Simpson could have killed Nicole and Ron if he had been the perpetrator.

Once news of the book deal became public, there was outrage … with many believing Simpson was further victimizing the families, and profiting off a horrific crime.

Blowback was so intense, publisher ReganBooks scrapped the project, ultimately paving the way for the Goldman family to acquire the book rights.

They changed the name to “If I Did It: Confession Of The Killer” (O.J.’s working title was never released), and released the book in September 2007.

For decades, a portion of book sales have gone to Fred और Kim Goldman, however, much of the $33 million civil judgment has not been fulfilled.
