Default Plimer's Book Sold Out!

The first print run has sold out.


Since a "printing" could produce any number of copies,
to say a book's "first print run has sold out." could
mean that the single copy of it sold. If Bonzo actually
wanted to tell us a fact, he would cite the total
number of copies, not the number of printings sold out.
Evidently, the book did not sell well enough for Bonzo
to tell us the relevant facts.
