Right after the presidential election, we told you about Yes We Can, the photo album of Barack Obama‘s historic campaign, and now Stephanie Murg of UnBeige, mediabistro.com’s design blog, says PowerHouse has sold out the 55,000-copy first printing a month before the book even hits stores, and is heading back to the press for another 25,000 copies.
Murg also highlights a statement from photographer Scout Tufankjian about her dedication to the project:
“Once I had decided that this was going to be historic and that I wanted to document as much of it as possible, I didn’t want to miss anything. I remember freaking out because I was missing a small town hall meeting in Claremont, NH. Now, attending this event would have involved a six-hour drive through a blizzard when I had a 100-degree fever and a wicked sore throat. Despite that, I still had to be forcibly dissuaded from going.”
