Dead Beat’s first run sells dry
Word from Jim:
“Just thought I’d let you guys know that the first run of Dead Beat sold dry in three days. They’re sending the book back to the press for another run, which is fairly unusual for hardbacks, according to my editor. Neat stuff!”
Later:
“15k on the first run. New copies can come out anywhere from a week to a month later. Note that there are still copies available, but they’re all in the pipeline from distributors to stores, and the orders to restock ate up the tiny surplus copies. If they handle it right, there shouldn’t be a problem with actually acquiring the book from the bookstore-customer standpoint.”
Evil Hat Interviewed on RPG Blog

Dead Beat — Available Now!
Dead Beat, the first hardcover novel of the Dresden Files, is now in stores! The book follows Harry as he squares off against a bevvy of infighting necromancers in a race against time to acquire the Word of Kemmler. The catch? First, he has to figure out what the Word of Kemmler is…
Upgrading to hardcover is a major step for the Dresden Files, but it’s only going to be good for Jim if the fans back it up. Order your copy of Dead Beat today!
(Rumor has it that the softcover versions of the newly hardcover series will come out about a year after the hardcovers for those of you committed to the less durable variety — but believe us, Dead Beat is something you don’t want to wait to read!)
