Chinese publishers have
announced they printed more than 1.8 million copies of
Deathly Hallows and are considering issuing more. They have also said they are taking strict measures to try and curb piracy.
Quote:
Mainland China's The People's Literature Publishing House said it issued 1.1 million copies of the book, the seventh in the Harry Potter series, but declined to provide sales figures.
Taiwan's Crown Culture Corp. has shipped 700,000 copies to book stores in Taiwan and Hong Kong, a figure that already exceeds the company's total print run of 680,000 for the sixth and penultimate Harry Potter book, marketing executive Icy Lee said.
Anti-piracy watermarks have been put on copies of the novel.
