| Thank you for the link!! Just out of curiosity, are these books fan-written, or by someone who has "inside" access to Team Mao and her family? | |

| Ooh, can't wait I'm really excited, even though I won't be able to read the book, because of my non-existent skills in Japanese I wonder if I can order it from Amazon.jp. They did a fine job delivering the first three books | |

I so second that! And I don't understand why the Mao Chronicles (sorry, I don't know what else to call them ) haven't been translated into English. Our posters here (with a special kudos to Batsuchan) do such an admirable job of translating it. It would be nice if the publishers could officially introduce an English version of the books onto the market. I would definitely buy them. | |

| My brother speaks Japanese fluenty and is currently a visiting scholar at Kyoto University (he's a semester away from earning his PhD in Linguistics). He spends most of his time working on his dissertation which is translating poetry written in Old Japanese into English... I wonder if he's be willing to translate the Mao Eighteen book for me? Maybe after that PhD is finished (and I offer some compensation)! | |

| It should be pretty easy getting it off Amazon. My only gripe with Amazon is the cost of delivery. When I bought my copy of Sasha Cohen's autobiography from Amazon US, the delivery cost more than the book itself! I think the delivery for the first three Mao books to my place in Australia came to a total of $30 AUD. It should be cheaper if you're getting it delivered to the States.

It's okay, I can deal with paying extra for Mao-related goods. | |

| At YesAsia it says release date is on December 19 and costs $24.49 (US & CAN) or $25.99 (Global). I know it's probably a bit more expensive but they do have free international shipping. Is it available for preorder at Amazon? - Star85 wrote:

Me too...

Thanks. It's quite easy to order from there but I noticed they increased the minimum order to $39 to be able to avail of free shipping. Last year it was only $25 when I bought some Nodame Cantabile manga and specials. Australia (zone 2) is included so long as you select standard shipping during payment. http://www.yesasia.com/global/customer-support/0-0-0-hti.1574-en/question-answer.htmlIt did take quite a bit to reach me but then postal service here in my country is quite bad. | |

It's one of the books offered on their BookWeb service, so one of the larger Kinokuniya stores should have it...or so I would think (the store in San Francisco had the previous Mao books and several issues of the World Figure Skating magazine). | |

It would be so awesome if Kinokuniya sold this book. However, from experience, books from Kinokuniya tend to be more expensive than those from other bookstores in Australia. The foreign books are more expensive still. - bibi wrote:

Try Amazon.co.jp . I bought all three books from there and the delivery was really fast. I got it in a week or so. Here's the link to the seventeen book: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-language/product/4163709207/ref=dp_change_lang?ie=UTF8&language=en%5FJPI pretty sure they should ship to Canada. | |
