Gwendy's Final Task (two Firsts?)

[Martin]

Here's the numbers he shared. Overall first printing. 100,000 copies.

80k Green Binding
20k Gray binding

So far he's flat signed 5,000 copies and signed 4,000 bookplates

Thank you.

I received the green from CD and the gray from B&N. Had to order from B&N, they didn't have any in store on release day. Water Street Books also has the green copies available. H&S also published a green copy without the stamping.

I had the same issue with Barnes and Noble and Powells on release day. I had not heard about H&S version. I would assume that would be considered a UK 1st.

That's what I would assume as well. I'm subscribed to their newsletter but never heard a peep from them about it. Now I'm hearing they are already into additional printings. I would attempt an order from Book Depository but I'd probably not end up with a 1st. I have reached out to a UK friend as well. This doesn't bode well for my OCD.
