In mid-October, worried that stock would run out just before the holidays, Norton ordered a 10th printing of the book, an additional 10,000 copies. A priority rush order typically takes two weeks, but Norton was told that it would take two months. The new editions arrived at the publishers’ warehouse on Dec. 17, but those copies still needed to get to retailers in time for holiday purchases. Norton just ordered an 11th printing, which will bring the total copies in circulation to 115,000.

The book has been in the Deichman collection since it opened in 1785.

This Thursday, in a talk and book signing at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum, Connolly will reflect on the lessons learned in releasing seven editions over three decades.
