Late Monday afternoon, Mulholland Books said it is going back to press for 300,000 hardcover copies of “The Cuckoo’s Calling,” the novel that J.K. Rowling wrote under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

New copies of the crime tale, which is sold out on Barnes&Noble.com and hard to find in bookstores, will begin to ship later this week.

The hardcover edition, as well as the Nook digital edition, ranked No. 1 at Barnes & Noble at 6 p.m. on Monday afternoon.

Mulholland Books declined to say how many hardcover editions of the book are currently in print in the U.S. Over the weekend, a spokeswoman for Barnes & Noble described the book as a slow seller until the Sunday Times (London) unveiled Ms. Rowling as the author.

A spokeswoman for Mulholland Books said that Ms. Rowling will be identified as the author on the new editions of “The Cuckoo’s Calling.”
