US prepares for the midnight launch of Brisingr
Bookshops around the US are preparing themelves for the midnight launches that will be held in bookshops for Brisingr, the latest Christopher Paolini title in the Inheritance Cycle series.
There will be more than 150 stores holding events to support the launch on 20th September, with Waterstone’s and a number of independents holding midnight events.
Pre-orders on Amazon, where Brisinger has remained near the top of the pre-order chart for three months, have been strong. UK sales of the first two books in the Inheritance Cycle series, Eragon and Eldest, have reached more than 700,000.
While the UK print run has not been revealed, US publisher Random House has announced a first print of 2.5m copies, its largest ever for a children’s book. Worldwide sales of the first two books stand at 15m.
