Little, Brown and Co. imprint Mulholland Books announced Monday it has commissioned 300,000 more copies of "The Cuckoo's Calling," and the books will be shipped this week.

"The Cuckoo's Calling" was released in April and credited to Robert Galbraith. Demand soared after it was revealed Saturday that Rowling wrote it. It is still available as an e-book.

The new printing will include a note saying Galbraith is a pseudonym for Rowling.

The British "Harry Potter" author says she had wanted "The Cuckoo's Calling" to be judged on its merits. The novel received strong reviews but had sold poorly.
