<\/p>\nWhen we got home from visiting Kate’s family yesterday, there was a large shipping envelope from my agent waiting for us. This can mean only one thing: author copies of foreign editions!<\/p>\n

If you can find a working URL, I’d love a link.<\/p>\n I really need to collect all of the foreign covers into a photo gallery for DogPhysics.com<\/a>. In my copious free time. There are several others in the works– I’ve spoken to the German publisher, and I know the Polish and Turkish rights have been sold– but I have no idea when to expect them. The lead time between buying the rights and publishing the books seems to be highly variable (the Korean rights sold before the US hardcover was released, at least two years ago), and there isn’t much obvious relation between when the books appear overseas and when I get author copies of them.
