Just thought I'd mention that I've managed to get hold of and read an Uncorrected Proof for the US Edition of WOLP that comes out in February.
There is indeed a bit of additional material at the end of the book, in the form of an extra chapter (called chapter 34b, if I recall correctely). And what is this extra chapter about, you ask? The weather.

So does this mean that the "extra chapter" wasn't in the UK edition? I'd been wondering...

Correct. They added the extra chapter to the US edition, in an effort to give US fans an incentive to buy that edition rather than (or in addition to) ordering the UK edition from amazon.uk (since that came out 7 months earlier).

Has anyone else read the chapter in Big Night Out?
