Brisingr Breaks Record For 550,000 Sold On 1st Day
The third book on Inheritance Cycle, Brisingr make a record in Random House Children’s Books history for sold 550,000 hardcover copies. Random House Children’s Books is the world’s largest English-language children’s trade book publisher.
Brisingr was published by Random House’s Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers imprint in the U.S. and Canada on September 20th with a first printing of 2.5 million copies, the largest first-print run in the publisher’s history.
The first day’s sales for Brisingr are four times that of Eldest, the second novel in Paolini’s Inheritance cycle, which was published in August 2005.
Brisingr was also released simultaneously in the U.S. and Canada as an audiobook by Random House’s Listening Library audio division. Initial reports indicate that sales for the audiobook as well as the BRISINGR ebook are also strong.
Paolini will write a fourth book to conclude the Inheritance cycle. For the meantime, I’ll be busy now reading my freshly converted Brisingr mobile eBook in repligo format. If possible, I’ll keep you posted about the adventures of Eragon and Saphira. Enjoy reading. 
Brisingr, Book 3 Inheritance Cycle Soon!
As we are all waiting for the official announcement of Eldest, the movie… Brisingr, Book 3 of the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini will be released on September 20, 2008. This is not the last one, there are going to be four books. It is Inheritance Cycle already, not a Inheritance Trilogy.
What to expect on Brisingr?
- Eragon will meet a God.
- Eragon encountered a new and rather terrifying enemy in the third book. I think I can tell you that this enemy likes to laugh and not in the good way. – Christopher Paolini
You could order the book online or to your favorite bookstore. Audiobook is available online. While waiting for the release, you could join the Vroengard Academy and have a chance to win Eragon, Eldest, Brisinger books autographed by Christopher Paolini, Vroengard Shirts and mugs, Eragon DVDs and video games every week. Grand prize is trip to Bozeman, Montana to meet Christopher Paolini in person. For US and Canada residence only.
Looking forward to read it on my mobile soon… have to reread the Eragon and Eldest to refresh my memory before Brisingr’s release.
