Selling ‘The Night Circus'

When Erin Morgenstern’s first novel, The Night Circus, debuted last September, PW predicted in a starred review that this magical tale was destined for bestsellerdom.

Anchor Books moved the pub date from May to accommodate Target, where it has been a book club pick for the month of July. It’s also the lead title in Costco’s current assortment and has front-of-store displays at Barnes & Noble and many independents. There are 210,000 copies of the paperback in print.
