This is the Catalan edition. Publishere Group 62 as for Spanish. It is particularly pleasing to have an edition in Catalan - rather as I would be thrilled to have an edition in Welsh or Gaelic. And I know it's not the same - but Catalan is not as widely spoken as Spanish. I'll be amazed if anyone who is not in Barcelona uses this site and orders a Catalan edition - but who knows? Here is the link...

ναίκα δίχως άντρα ψάρι χωρίς ποδήλατο

This is the Greek edition. Publisher - Kedros. I still don't understand quite why there is a mermaid with a bike on it. I know the saying that a woman needs a man like a mermaid needs a bike - but Battersea Park Road isn't an anti men statement so I don't quite understand the interpretation. Perhaps this is an example of how different cultures vary? Not sure - the link is a good - it won't take you directly to an 'order' page like all the links above. But if you want the Greek edition then this is the easiest way to order it.
Here it is...www.books-in-greek.gr

Here is a copy from Finland. Published WSOY. This book has done very well in Finland (apparently) - one of the only two countries that produced the book in hardback before the paperback edition. I have now given away the six copies that the publishing company sent me from Finland to readers who amazed me by emailing this site from Finland. More copies can now be obtained from www.bookplus.fi

Finland is likely to be the next country to publish For Tibet, With Love (with the name 'A Beginner's Guide to Changing the World).... We are working on it...

And here is the Portugese edition.Publisher Temas & Debates. I believe the title means 'I want to live like this' - I'm open to correction. Love the image of someone who is not me floating about the world meditating. This is, of course, exactly what my life is like. Ha ha. Why don't I meditate every day? Sigh. Anyway I prattle digress.... Do you have any friends that speak Portuguese? If so... please get them to press here... www.byblos.pt

And here is the first foreign edition of 'For Tibet, With Love' - Published in Holland also by De Boekerij. The photo on the front - of which I'm incredibly proud - is the one from inside the book. There are a number of strong Tibet organisations in Holland so I'm hoping that they'll use this book to take the story to a whole new audience. If you speak Dutch, or know anyone who does, and you'd like to order a brand new copy of this book - please go to the publisher's website http://www.boekerij.nl/ then type 'Losada' in the little box - press 'Go' and up will come the page for this book.

This is the 2006 Spanish 'For Tibet, With Love' - Para El Tibet, Con Amor - Published by Adhara and with a Forward by Javier Moro, who is very well loved and respected in Spain. Unfortunately I don't read Spanish, despite my second name. My daughter does though - does that count? So far this edition doesn't have a review in Spanish so if you'd like a Spanish copy or could write a review in Spanish then please look here... www.casadellibro.com

For Tibet, With Love... in Italian...Published, as above by La Feltrinelli, only it's called 'Datemi retta, qualcosa si può fare (per cambiare il mondo). Which is 'Believe me, Something can be done (To Change the World)] I love the fact that they have taken the germ of the idea by the British Illustrator Jonny Hannah and made it less busy. They have also left 'For Tibet, With Love' but in Tibetan - so no-one but the Tibetans can read this bit. Very clever stuff. It can be ordered throgh the publisher's website www.lafeltrinelli.it
For some reason my books do VERY well in Italy... I hope that this is NOT because out of all these publishing houses I only have one male editor and he's in the country where my books do best. I so hope this is a co-incidence!

USA then there is US Paperback... (Harper Collins) Here is the link on www.amazon.com and here it is on www.amazon.co.uk If you are in the US and this book has been recommended then this is your cheapest option but if you are in the UK then the UK edition is prettier!

Australia. Publisher Allen and Unwin. In Australia they didn't translate but they did their own adaptation of the original UK cover taking out a lot of the cluttered background but keeping the original idea.

In the US and the UK the book is now called 'A Beginner's Guide to Changing the World' so if you want to have a copy with the original title then you have to have the Aussie version. The Aus publishers are not showing their own version on their own website (?!!!?) but if you buy it from here www.allenandunwin.com you do receive the Aus version. I've asked them so promote their own copy not the UK one!

'Moj put do prosvjetljenja'

Croatia: Published by Henna. They have designed their own cover which, rather cleverly, seems to tell you what's in it - all the different subject areas are written on the right hand side.

My daughter and I went to Croatia on holiday last summer - it's wonderful. We went to a little Island called Lopud just off the coast from Dubrovnic and stayed in a tiny B&B in a man's home, and there was nude swimming on the sandy beach and lots of sunshine. This site is in Croat but you can buy one if you'e clever at www.hena.com

В поисках совершенства

Battersea Park Road to Enlightenment.. in Russian. Now published by AST. The link below will take you directly to the page for the book in Russian - but, unless you speak Russian, you may have a little difficulty navigating it.

I wonder how many Russian readers end up on this site? A few clever bi-lingual ones I guess. I did receive one email from a Russian reader, before I knew it had been published. So far I just forward the link to the few people that I know in Russia and let them deal with it... Anyway - here is the link.. www.ozon.ru If you succeed in ordering from here and getting a copy to arrive in the UK then please let me know.

Feltrinelli is an absolutly wonderful publishing company and my books are easier to find in Italian bookshops than they are here. I've no idea why my books do so well in Italy whereas none of them have sold at all in France... it is one of life's great mysteries to me.

The launch of 'Uomini' in Italy was even heralded by interviews in major magazines and full page photos etc - all done in translation... and I've done interviews for websites, the lot.

If my books don't continue to do well here - maybe I should learn Italian and retire to Italy. This is the strange and unpredicable world of international book sales... anyway - If you want 'Men!' in Italian - you can buy it here... www.lafeltrinelli.it
