    Maybe Benjo can tell us whether it will be available in any anglophone
    regions beyond Amsterdam...

    I heard the same rumor, so it's probably true. It's released by a British
    publishing house, but according to the translator, the editor will have a go
    at the North American market as well. So probably you'll find it in American
    bookshops in huge piles next to the Da Vinci Code and Hary Potter :-)

    Hopefully they'll have a midnight party on the release date at Barnes
    and Noble.

    If you want to suggest that I'm trying to profit by some referal program
    of amazon, I have to say that they wouldn't even know where to send the
    money. This was the first time I was on the amazon.co.uk site in my
    life. OTOH, THERE IS ONLY ONE NUMBER in that URL, so one might also
    conclude that you're just a dumbass trying to be smart ...

    And the author will be there to sign copies if he can escape the
    attentions of all his female fans.

    I tried to use the "inquiry" line at your publisher's web site
    ("groundswell of support"😉, but my email bounced. Where do they take
    fan mail? --TP

    I have no idea. I have only communicated with the translator, not with the
    editor (that is to say, not directly).

    What about the converse.

    Unlike dumbass Henry, that's what a much brighter Benjo is worried about.

    You think that Benjo is worried that if the rest of us run out and buy it
    then you'll think it sucks?
