England captain David Beckham's autobiography has scored in soccer-crazy China where it has topped the bestsellers' list in many cities, the China Daily newspaper said on Monday.
Hundreds of fans packed two of Beijing's largest book stores when "David Beckham: My Side" hit the shelves last week, the newspaper said.
Fans formed long queues to buy the hard-cover edition, which sold for 29.80 yuan ($3.60), the newspaper said.
"We had expected that sales would be good but it is selling better than we expected," the China Daily quoted City Press deputy editor-in-chief He Yuxing as saying.
Beckham swept China off its feet when he made his Real Madrid debut in Beijing in August. He was signed from Manchester United for 35 million euros in July.
