None of our books has sold out in the sense of there not
being any copies available for people to buy; many of our
books have gone into second or third printings (which is why
there are still copies available for people to buy). To
answer the next question someone is bound to ask, no, there
is not an easy way to tell whether a given copy of a Hard
Case Crime book is a first printing or a later printing. In
the case of our first 13 titles, any copy that doesn't have a
stiff cardboard "book club" offer bound into the middle of
the book is an earlier edition and any copy that does have
the bind-in card is a later edition -- but "earlier" doesn't
necessarily mean "first."
The only way to be certain of getting a first printing of a
given book is to buy a copy the month the book first comes
out.
