More books!!!

Did you, perchance, arrive at a bookshop recently, only to discover all copies of SQ21 were sold out?

Well, never fear! A second print run of 1,000 has been issued at the beginning of the week; it should be in the stores as we speak. (I rather enjoy how we're shelved in the "Culture" shelves of the Takashimaya Kinokuniya, together with all the World War II POW sagas. You'll have to check the far end of the shelves, though.)

Furthermore, if you're ever in doubt that we have invisible friends at the National Library, just click on the below link:

That's right. Three copies per library, including regional and community joints (except library@esplanade, since we're not a filmscript); almost all in transit and some already available for lending.

And since there are 23 branches, they've bought precisely 69 books.

That's right, go on and giggle. :-p I'm just happy they've become so openly accessible.
