Bloomsbury&#39;s sales almost invariably have a set of the trilogy and the 12th September 2013 sale had 2 sets, only one of which sold - at £90. The wrappered ARC went for £110.

These were the books that Mark (CEO Quercus) handed out to the public to create a ground swell following in the Millenium Trilogy. ISBN 978 1 84724 484 0. Of the original 500 printed there are a handful in great condition. I, as Mark&#39;s brother, have one and we will be auctioning this copy off at Sotherby&#39;s in the next few months. Let&#39;s see where the market takes it...

There was a tremendous buzz about the book and impressive foreign sales so it wasn&#39;t to big a risk. It is however a fairly uncommon book as a proper first in hardback so there might be something wrong. There are a few chancers (as always) asking nearly as much for reprints and the 10000 might, as you say, include the first and second printings in hardback... The Aylsham copy, by the way, only sold on the second time of offering, it had appeared the month before with a 400/500 estimate and failed to elicit a bid.

Perhaps Reg can confirm this figure although in my experience authors (or in this case translators) never get told the print run by their publisher. 10,000 seems a rather bullish first print run for an, as at that time, unknown entity. Quercus/Maclehose were (are still) a young company and I would be surprised if they took a 10,000 chance on debut novel. Experience over years (decades!) tells me that the figure would be more likely a tenth of that at about 1000 copies. At 10,000 copies I would expect a fair few to be floating around in mint condition. There&#39;s about 10 copies on ABE of the FIRST printing (and a few that say FIRST edition and then tuck the fact that it maybe a second or subsequent printing away in the fine print) which might indicate a much lower print run than 10,000 copies. <br />I suspect the FIRST PRINTING was fairly small and that the 10,000 figure may well be made up of a total inclusive of subsequent printings.<br />As they say: purely in my own humble opinion.
