Popcorn Season on the Undulating Curve of Shifting Expectations

[John Bailey]

Janos, can I ask if you've got a review copy, an uncorrected proof, a
finished publishable copy etc?

Generally I get review copies of books with embargos, which is often
odd as they've already been reviewed overseas before they're released
here (eg just finished Chuck Palahniuk's new one which is embargoed
until 1 July, but I can find reviews all over the net. Also: it's a
really, really annoying book).
