Wish us luck with the formidable and worthy competition. But, most importantly, please join me in congratulating our producers, the best in the business, our authors and our performers, who contributed to these outstanding Grammy-nominated productions. Published on Saturday, July 8 simultaneously with the hardcover edition, the Listening Library audiobook has all but exhausted its first printing of 180,000 copies on cassette and CD after less than one week on sale. Listening Library has gone back to press three times for an additional 110,000 copies. The sales numbers for this title are the largest ever seen for an audiobook.
Booksellers report increased demand for the first three audiobooks as well.
