The original edition was\na wonderful book and I very much look forward to reading this new and\nexpanded version which, incidentally, has an introduction by Gene Wolfe\nhimself.\n\nNigel\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: lexiconurthus at googlegroups.com\n[mailto:lexiconurthus at googlegroups.com]On Behalf Of Michael\nAndre-Driussi\nSent: 13 July 2008 21:25\nTo: lexiconurthus at googlegroups.com\nSubject: [Lexicon Urthus] Lexicon Urthus Second Edition\n\n\n\nHello there Lexicon watcher,\n\nMichael here.\n\nI feel pressured by Amazon's pre-publication pre-order policy to give\nyou information that you richly deserve!\n\nI wasn't holding things back from you, honest!  I just didn't want to\nmention anything until you could buy it.  Amazon's policy makes a hash\nof that.  I don't blame them, since it is a fine way to sell things, I\njust hadn't considered it.\n\nAnyway!\n\nI am pleased to announce that on August 1, 2008, the Second Edition of\nLexicon Urthus will go on sale.\n\nHardcover: $39.95\nPaperback:$19.95 (the current Amazon price of $29.95 is wrong and we're\nfixing it)\n\nSpecifications: 440 pages, 6 x 9 inches, 20 b/w illustrations, 10 maps,\n24 tables\n\nThis is a print on demand book, available through Amazon.com and\nthrough us directly, but Amazon will almost certainly offer a discount\nand we're not doing that yet.  We expect most sales to be through\nAmazon and specialty bookstores, but since there are cases where Amazon\nmight not reach a country or something, we offer to try and fill those\norders.\n\nIn addition to the hardcover and the paperback, we are also hoping to\nrollout a Kindle version as soon as possible (meaning September at the\nearliest).  We are interested in hearing from anybody who would\nconsider buying a Kindle version.\n\nI should send out review copies as soon as possible.  Please nominate\nany appropriate venues that you can think of.  If you yourself would\nlike to review LU2 for some publication, send me email telling me which\nvenue you have in mind and I'll probably send you a review copy.\n\nThank you for your patience!\n\n=Michael="
