Bordas, who agreed to publish the work after Gallimard's refusal, printed two thousand five hundred copies. But according to the publisher's records, only a hundred copies were sold or sent to critics two years after its publication. Bordas terminated its contract with Beckett and the author signed with Éditions de Minuit, which bought back the unsold stock and gave the book the cover of the white collection.
