The Strand in New York is (in)famous for their massive selection of review copies. You can always review the books on lightnovel.org, under a special new heading called HEAVY STUFF, MAN.

I was at a used bookstore, and found "All You Need Is Kill" there. lol And no.......I don't mean the Japanese version, hahaha, I mean yours! That's right, before its supposed to have been released, I find a USED and I might add, READ copy of your book, in english, with a July 2009 printing date along with your publishing label on the side, etc. I couldn't stop chuckling. lol It was already in a USED bookstore, BEFORE it was released. XD Well, I skimmed through it, and although interesting, it wasn't enough to make me spend money on it, not yet at least. However, I am interested in "Lord of the Sands of Time", so I will be looking for that one with great interest at Barne's and Noble. In fact, you may wish to make a post about this funny story, to give your readers a bit of a small laugh before the official release. Just an idea. Don't forget to credit who told the story. lol Still, it was just so funny. :p I wonder though, was it an advance copy given to a reviewer or something else? :o Also, I might add, that part in the above post about the editor not liking boogiepop, was a very nice save. lol I thought it was a great addition. I'm sure many people will like it. -Matthew Reeves PS. I'm confused on something. Since your books aren't light novels, I can't really write any reviews for them on lightnovel.org because, as I said, their not technically light novels. So, um, I'm left with a question. If I did happen to read a book of yours, and wished to review it, where would I do so? Here? lol Congratulations to everyone at Haikasoru for their work in helping to expand America's understanding of Japanese literature! ^_^ Hey guys, Matt’s back again. lol

It may be a very small riot. If I don’t find Lords of the Sands of Time in the Union Square Barnes and Noble tomorrow, I will start a riot.
