Death From The Skies - Selling Well?

Death from the Skies, the new flyer compendium from Games Workshop has apparently been selling fast. Games workshop released the following little snippet on the product page:-

**STOP PRESS**
Due to exceptional demand Death From The Skies is out of stock. We will make this book available to purchase as soon as we are able, in the meantime please keep checking back on this product page for any updates.

 And this on White Dwarf Daily:-

Due to exceptional demand Death From The Skies is out of stock - it has quite literally flown off the shelves in our warehouse. Never fear though, because the print servitors have already set to work on a new print run - we'll let you know on the product page and here on White Dwarf Daily as soon as the book becomes available again.

Now I don't know if this is the book actually selling really well or if GW assumed this wasn't going to be very popular but either way it isn't available to order right now. As GW don't release sales figures, I guess we're never going to know what "exceptional demand" really means. However, another print run seems to imply that they really weren't expecting a high demand and have been rather caught short. I haven't been all that interested in this particular publication, but might pick it up second hand at some point, if only for the background information in it.

UPDATE 22/02/13: GW are now offering a £25 gift voucher for those who ordered Death From The Skies after it was sold out. I think they will also be getting their copy when a second printing is done as well. Locky bunch
