Of course, it was a 2014 bestseller because of the Best Picture Oscar win of the movie that it was based upon.
From the Publisher’s Advertisement for this book in The Liberator 26 Aug. 1853:
Next to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the extraordinary Narrative of Solomon Northup is the most remarkable book that was ever issued from the American press. Indeed, it is a more extraordinary work than that, because it is only a simple unvarnished tale of the experience of an American freeman of the “blessings” of slavery, while Mrs. Stowe’s Uncle Tom is only a powerfully wrought novel, intended to illustrate what Solomon saw and experienced, Southern Slavery in its various phases.—Detroit Trib.

The volume cannot fail to gain a wide circulation. It will be read extensively, both at the North and South. No one can contemplate the scenes which are here so naturally set forth, without a new conviction of the hideousness of the institution from which the subject of the narrative has happily escaped.—N.Y.
