Bloomsbury, its publisher, seems to have absolutely loved it. It had an initial hardback print run of 250,000 copies, which is quite remarkable for a debut author. And that print run sold out, too, so their optimism was justified. My own hardback version (it's one of the few books I've loved so much in recent years that I bought a hardback version) is a 5th print run.
