Ordering Casa di Foglie

[Johnny Truant]

The Italian 1st edition of of Leaves is now available from www.bol.it. The downside for Foreign Country fans is that shipping is REALLY expensive. More than double the price of the book!

Happy ordering... I can't afford this one right now due to some T50YS orders I just made.

I will be in Italy next week. Can anyone recommend a good bookstore in Rome, Venice, or Milan that I might pick up a copy of Casa di foglie?

Allso if you are interested and in the area that I will be, it would be cool to meet some of you. Drop me a note if you are interested.

All I can say is, don't bank on finding a decent bookshop in Venice, at least not in the old town. If I remember correctly, there's one on the way to Campo Sta. Margherita (where all the student bars are) coming from the Accademia bridge, but it's not exactly large. [edit: follow the yellow brick road, two across, one down, of the whole squares, near Campo S. Barnaba] You might find one in Mestre, but I wouldn't recommend spending too much time there, as it's a bit of a dump.

In Milan, on the other hand, I can't remember exactly where, but I know for a fact that there is a large bookshop (several in fact), which is likely to have a copy.

Thanks fearful, I did manage to find a list of book stores in Rome. So I'll keep my eyes open, there and Milan.

If you do go to Campo Santa Margherita, make sure to go into the 'Capo Horn' and order a 'spritz all'aperol' or seven. They're a sort of Venetian speciality; dead cheap and come with the biggest olives known to man. Plus the barman's a nice chap.

Buon divertimento.

And bring some extra copies back I still haven't ordered one.
