It's supposed to be released on December 10. That's a day after my birthday, so it will be a great present for myself!  |

| 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 |

| 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.

I asked my friend in Japan to buy stuff for me from Amazon and she delivered it to me. This would be cheaper than you directly order from Amazon. |

Home 
is a friend of the Mao´s family I think, this must be a really interesting book, please japanese speakers share some when you have time 
) 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.
