Scholastic back to press for 400,000 more copies
Sep 02, 2010
For comparison, Eclipse, the third book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series, sold 250,000 copies during its first week, in August 2007. Ellie Berger, president of Scholastic Trade, said sales “have exceeded all expectations” and said she was impressed at the numbers of teens and adults who have blogged, tweeted, and come out to meet Collins on the first leg of her North American tour. There will be three subsequent legs of her tour, in September, October, and November.
