Obviously not much to report yet, but Starling's on it.
S certain the books were printed by non-magical means while the afterword was reproduced by wand. Ink is inconsistent throughout. Made in batches. Thinks binding materials may prove interesting--mixture of adhesives and magic. Comparison of typeface to known seditious presses underway. Investigating the paper used. Amateurish production--high likelihood mistakes will lead us to source.
Will want to see every copy you can collect. The less handling they undergo, the better. If there's to be any reliable evidence gleaned. Expect that is too much to hope--chocolate smears on inner pages of two of the five you turned over yesterday.
Perhaps I should come for supper again tonight. Might encourage cooperation.

Re. first, all preview copies were recovered. Now being checked for residual signs of duplication.
Re. second, author knows nothing and publisher not avail for comment. Bella furious about latter. Breaths being held in various quarters. You can imagine.
