Moderator Marsha- do you know how many copies of this title have sold? I think this may be the first King title (in recent years) to not have sold out upon publication.

Not sure how many of the 30,000 copies have been sold but the Press is happy with sales so far. Launching from a small press and being a non-fiction book, even with the new essay by Steve, are a couple reasons for it not being a sell-out IMO. Plans are in the works for distribution to be expanded through an outside company to get more copies into bookstores but is not at the point where I can say more at this time.

Moderator - Has the University of Maine Press considered donating this book to some libraries? If a library needs to purchase the book, maybe at a discounted cost?

I honestly don't know if they've specifically approached libraries but even so, it probably wouldn't help those in Canada to have more access as I would doubt they'd do that internationally.
