The book exists in hardcover! Here it is on my windowsill at our house in the Tokyo suburbs. I may like my makeup sparkly & my patent leather shiny, but I’m loving the special matte paper Putnam Books has chosen. Thanks so much, Putnam!
PS. It’s not in bookstores in the US (or any other countries) yet until June 30, but it is being offered for pre-order at all of these sellers–and at a discount at many of them, until the book is actually released to the public!

Congrats! So is there or will there be a Japanese translation?

Hi autumn! Aki Shobo, a small Japanese publisher, bought the book and will be coming out with a Japanese version soon–this fall I believe. Of course, I won’t be able to read it…

Tracy, this is great! Congratulations!
May I suggest that you always include your name and contact # in your blast emails? What if I wanted to forward your email to someone who wanted to buy the book, or review it? They’d have no way of reaching you!
Hope your sales are through the roof come June 30th!

Thanks, Kelly! I think if you forward any of the posts, the icon in the top banner should be clickable to my blog, no?
