Her autobiography, entitled Learning to Fly, (the title was taken from a line in
a song from the musical Fame, which Victoria adored as a child). The book was
the 3rd best selling non-fiction title of 2001 (total UK sales stand at more
than 500,000 copies), and has been translated into several languages.[citation

Victoria is widely believed to have told a Spanish journalist in 2005 that "I've
never read a book in my life". Although often used to criticise and ridicule
Victoria, this 'quote' was actually a mistranslation from the original Spanish
in which the interview was printed - she actually stated she never had time to
finish reading a book because she was always running around after her children.
Her second book, a fashion book titled That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and
Everything In Between, was published on October 30, 2006. It was co-written by
Hadley Freeman, deputy fashion editor of the Guardian and a contributing editor
of Vogue and includes photography by Mario Testino, Annie Leibovitz and Steven
Meisel.
On the Sunday Times Book Charts, the book stood at # 2.
