Publisher’s Weekly has the scoop:

Now, after having initially said it would be going back to press twice on the title, Vintage has confirmed it is planning third, fourth and fifth printings of Grey. The publisher said it is “working with multiple plants” on the reprint job which, once completed, will bring the in-print total for the book to 2.1 million copies.

James revealed the news about the book via an Instagram post earlier this month. Since then presale orders have been going strong. Amazon revealed that the book was the top selling presale Kindle title of the year so far.
