The most anticipated week in publishing yrs...

[DJRC]

PTerry - Tge Shepherds Crown released last night.
The Girl in the Spiders Web released today also - Lisbeth Salander 4. Lagerkrantz was commissioned to write and it's getting rave reviews as a very good Steig.

Water stones will be happy chaps!

And of course not to mention my owned biased obsession with Jodi

I didn't know Child had one out also. I didn't realise so many were coming out at once till I read a cpl of stories in The Times & Telegraph that apparently the publishing industry were calling it the biggest week in a decade or something! I didn't even know Lagerkrantz had been commissioned to write the 4th Lizbeth or that there had been raging arguments about it!

Bigger than "Go Set a Watchman" a few weeks ago? Bigger than the seventh and last Harry Potter (2007)? I'd very much doubt if the numbers will match up to that sort of hype, I suspect there's a bit of "dead season" reporting going on there.

The last PTerry and next Salender coming out in the same week? Much much bigger than Watchman.

Nobody under the age of 40 has read Mockingbird much less ever heard of Atticus. Salender and the Millenium trilogy kickstarted Scandi-noir in the last decade and PTerry is/was the most famous & prolific author in the country.

So yes. Much bigger.
