Publishers and agents are famously busy, Eric.

How about giving a reason to click on the link? Just two, maximum three sentences that tell us a bit more than the author's name and the book title.

Thank you for the reminder, Bruce :)

There I've gone over the three-sentence maximum…

A good reminder for all of us: the elevator pitch. It's hard to summarize the books we love in 2-3 sentences, but sometimes, that's all the time we have.

I am not seeing where to purchase this book in the English translation? Am I missing something?

Oh, is it not published yet? I can't find it.

Right now it's only published in Australia and China, I believe, and they haven't yet negotiated UK and US deals. That's my understanding, anyway. I'm sure you can still order it online, but it's not clear when it will be in US bookstores.

The English version is also published in China? Which publisher and where could we get a copy? Thanks!

The publisher is Penguin Asia, and it is available in China, though I don't know all the outlets. In Beijing, the Bookworm and the Wangfujing Foreign Languages Bookstore will have it for sure…
