Pan Mac: print run for Reilly our highest ever for Aus author
Published 28 October, 2009
Pan Macmillan has reported that its print run for The Five Greatest Warriors (Matthew Reilly) is its biggest ever for an Australian author.
‘We have already topped up that initial print run twice with a third reprint under consideration,' said deputy publishing director Cate Paterson of the title, which was released on 20 October.
‘I have never experienced a day like today, with demand for this book running ahead of how quickly we could help our booksellers get the books onto the shelves,' Paterson told WBN. 'You can wait your whole career for a day like this and not necessarily get it. What is particularly gratifying for everyone involved is that Matthew Reilly is an extremely dedicated Australian author who deserves every success.'
