March 4, 2008 Wow! We don't have time to keep up with all of this. We just ordered our seventh printing of the paperback version, which will put over 300,00 in print and we haven't even gotten to our first anniversary yet. Some reviews have appeared now raising some issues about The Shack, that we felt it important to address here. You can read our response here.

November 2, 2007: We're out of books again. The last 20,000 books we printed of The Shack were swallowed up in two months. We're back to print 50,000 more copies and a new hardback version for those who have asked. The hardback version will contain a bonus article in the appendix, The Story Behind The Shack, by William P. Young describing how this little back came to be. The hardback version should be available by December 10, 2007 and can be pre-ordered now from our order pages.
