Connecticut Residents Line Up for Harper Lee's New Novel

After 55 years, the author of acclaimed novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" has released her second book.

While some call it a sequel, "Go Set a Watchman" was actually written first, in the 1950s.

It hit store shelves Tuesday morning in more than 70 countries – and of all Barnes & Noble locations in the U.S., the Farmington store garnered the highest number of book reservations.

Assistant Manager Seth Dueben said residents reserved between 500 and 1,000 books.

More than 2 million copies have been printed.

"Go Set a Watchman" is the most pre-ordered book on Amazon.com since the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in 2007.
