Both trade paperback and hardcover editions of Bonehunters sold well for us. It took longer than I expected for our distributor to get them here from the UK, but in the end it was worthwhile. All the trade paperbacks are sold and a good portion of the hardcovers. Only a few dustjackets were damaged, and I’ll let those go at a discount to people who don’t mind minor tears. A second batch is on the way, but likely weeks away.

I have Last Witchfinder high up on my to-be-read pile along with a copy of the signed edition of Christopher Moore’s A Dirty Job, which just arrived last night. Both are favorite authors, so deciding which to read first was tough, but Moore won in the end.
