John Grisham doesn't worry about 2nd printings.
When you write a book, you never know whether it's going to find an audience or disappear into the witness protection program. I learned this morning from my publisher (PublicAffairs) that The Class of '65 has gone into its second printing. We're not talking about John Grisham numbers here. Still, this is a good thing –- and days before its publication date. I had been concerned because the book showed up on Amazon earlier this week as "temporarily out of stock," which was good news and bad news: good because some people are buying it, bad because the retailer places little sippy-cup orders from publishers when we would prefer they place Big Gulp orders. More books are on the way! Stay thirsty, my friends.
