First Print Run of Nigerian Edition of Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to Sell Out Days After Release

Plans are underway for a Dream Count Homecoming Tour, which will see Ms Adichie visit multiple Nigerian cities in the coming months.

Narrative Landscape Press is thrilled to announce that the first print run of the Nigerian edition of Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is expected to sell out this week, only a few days after the book’s release on 4 March.

The overwhelming response to the book has been both exhilarating and humbling for the independent Nigerian publisher.

Dr Eghosa Imasuen, a co-founder and the executive director for business development at Narrative Landscape Press, expressed his gratitude and amazement at the reception. “The enthusiasm for Dream Count has been positively overwhelming. It is deeply gratifying, and if I am being honest, a little scary to witness the love for Chimamanda’s work. We knew the demand would be high, but the speed at which this first print run is selling is extraordinary.”

As part of its commitment to making the book widely available, Narrative Landscape Press had begun fulfilling individual preorders and distributing copies to bookstores across the country during the week preceding the official worldwide release date of 4 March 2025. The publisher acknowledges and appreciates the patronage of booksellers and readers whose orders it received during the pre-order period and on the release date. The publisher states that it is committed to meeting the preset demand.

In response to the novel’s positive reception in Adichie’s home country, Narrative Landscape Press has already commissioned a second, larger print run that is expected to be available at the end of April. “We are working tirelessly to ensure that more copies reach the hands of readers as soon as possible,” Imasuen added. “We encourage everyone to stay tuned for an announcement in April when orders reopen.”

Meanwhile, the publisher continues to process and fulfil a large volume of orders. Readers and retailers are advised to remain patient as confirmation emails, sales receipts, and shipping details are dispatched. For inquiries, customers can reach out via email at orders@narrativelandscape.com or contact@narrativelandscape.com.

Additionally, plans are underway for a Dream Count Homecoming Tour, which will see Ms Adichie visit multiple Nigerian cities in the coming months. Details on locations and dates will be shared in due course.

Narrative Landscape Press extends its heartfelt appreciation to readers, booksellers, and supporters who have made this milestone possible.
