I'm starting the book tour in London on Monday, the week before publication. I leave tomorrow morning and then the madness begins. It's been pretty much a different city each day for the past two weeks, but now it's the same amount of travel and twice the number of events. The time to pretty up my Powerpoint (and iron my only good suit) is now.
Here's my London schedule. Unfortunately, there are only a few public events (they're the ones with links) but I'd love to see anyone who can make it at the Geek Dinner on Fri.

I'm afraid London is the only European stop on the book release tour. After next week it's NYC, Silicon Valley and Seattle (I'll post the specifics soon). But I do have a full speaking tour for the rest of the year, after the book release, and that will take me to France, Spain, the Netherlands, Cannes and elsewhere in Europe. I'll give those dates later this year, after the book tour.

Any plans to visit Australia? While we might lack in population, we make up for it in spiffy sunsets!

just heard you on Radio 4 - sounds like the long tail has finally got some mainstream exposure! Might mean that my students have heard of it when I start talking to them about it on my technology and innovation course. Good luck with the tour - I'm looking forward to the book.

The Radio 4 interview is up on their site, but you'll have to be quick as it doesn't hand around for long.
Please see:

Hi, which is the difference between the two "Long tail's" that appear on the amazon UK site?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/184413850X/026-1351582-2154801
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1401302378/026-1351582-2154801
Is it just the same book but one is the US edition and the other the UK one?
Thanks! and good luck in your trip. We'll be waiting for you here in Spain.

Mariano,
You guessed it. The first is the UK edition; the second is the US edition. Why they're both available on Amazon.co.uk I don't know. Their content is identical, so buy the UK edition because it's available direct and has free shipping.
Best,
Chris

Hope you had a great working day at London. Is it worth it working there? Have you enjoyed the place even when you're working?
