The Historian in Singapore

Forget about those chapter excerpts in Starbucks cafes, The Historian is already out in Singapore. My dad saw it today at MPH. There's also a 20% storewide sale until June 5, so that puts the book at about SGD21 or SGD22.

It's a tough call, Tigs. I like both covers too! The US one looks rather gothic, but I like the drops of blood on the UK cover. I'm sure you'll like the very many Eastern and Western European countries the narrator visits. Elizabeth once told me she loves travel writing and wanted her book to have a touch of that.

DSD, books are always a worthy investment. Investment for the soul. =)

Hey a l, which cover are you getting? =) The US or UK one? The UK one is white in color.
