I’ve received a lot of e-mail from friends in the UK regarding the shipping cost of ordering The Driver from the US Amazon site, but Amazon UK has conveniently put up a page for the European English-language edition, which will be far more economical. As soon as other UK retailers make it available, I will add the appropriate links.
I heard a rumor from Random House/Ebury Press that the UK edition would ship on or about January 1st, but Amazon UK lists the release date as November 1st, so anything is possible. You’ll find out as soon as I do.
My European book tour will tentatively begin in the UK in early January, then head to the continent.
I look forward to seeing everyone…and showing off Team Polizei’s all-new secret interceptor…
Looking forward to the book (have pre-ordered it from the US), the tour (will have to wait until January for that) and the new interceptor (hopefully not long left to wait).
Alex just to let you know http://www.play.com are also stocking your book
http://www.play.com/Books/Books/4-/3461415/The-Driver/Product.html
On Play.com there are 2 listed: 1 for November (Hardback at £11.99) and one for January 2008 (Paperback at £8.49). Perhaps that’s the confusion over the release dates sorted.
Alex - interestingly you also seem to have written a book called “The Impact of Japanese Investment on the New Town of Milton Keynes”. I think I’ll give that one a miss…
I preordered your book on Amazon.de and this will be the US Version whiuch I will hopefully get in the last days of octobre!
