First CD pressing

Release date: late 2006
Hello Shark originally self-released Book Lungs in a pressing of 30 copies. Each of these 30 discs were contained within uniquely painted and hand sewn cardboard CD jackets.

Second CD pressing

Release date: 2007-01-20
The second pressing of Book Lungs was screen printed and assembled at Grinding Tapes in early 2006. The discs in this 55 copy pressing are each contained within a 100% recycled cardboard jacket featuring romantic white owls. This pressing has a misprint on the track list: “Bubble Guns” is mistakenly listed as “Book Lungs.”

Third CD pressing

Release date: 2007-06-02
The third pressing of Book Lungs was finished just in time for Hello Shark's summer 2007 US tour with Saint Joe Hazelwood. The 80 discs in this pressing have entirely unique artwork, which features a smoking old lady, a semi-submerged face, some kind of bug, teeth, and an elderly couple dressed as marine life. Both the front and back cover are printed in dark red ink.
