Some lucky readers who pre-ordered Margaret Atwood's follow-up to The Handmaid's Tale received it a week early after a mix-up by Amazon. The publisher of The Testaments said "a very small number of copies" were sent in the US "Due to a retailer error". Penguin Random House would not confirm how many copies were sent, but The Guardian put the figure at 800. "In a statement, Penguin Random House said:"In the US a very small number of copies of Margaret Atwood's The Testaments were distributed early due to a retailer error which has now been rectified.
