Just in case anyone is as crazy as me and can't wait till August to read the book, thought I would offer to sell mine - great condition - tiny bit of wear on the edges of the book cover from being carried around in my bag everywhere. Figured $20 plus shipping would be fair (as I would be buying another copy to get signed). Its the hardcover US version. Post if you are interested in getting it.

Also, noticed some selling on ebay and amazon so check those sights out (just pay attention to the shipping times before you buy).

Happy hunting and more importantly happy reading!!!!

I'd always wondered if there were alterations done to the U.S. version to make it more amendable to the American version of English. (I'm from Texas myself.) I've had some real fun conversations with English speaking people from all over the world about colloquialisms etc.

I do have a signed version of this book, by the way, that I purchased from a wonderful indie bookstore here called Murder by the Book.
