Galileo's Dream release + Readings in CA

Submitted by Kimon

Happy new year! Galileo's Dream has now been released in the USA (in hardback)! Oddly enough, several major bookstores in the UK (online at least) seem to be out of stock since before Christmas. Was the first print so conservative on sales figures?

As reviews of the novel pop up, be they published or from random bloggers, I will be adding them to the site. Of course if you have a review and want to see it on the site you can send it to me or leave a link or post a comment in the book's page here at KSRi.

Also, Robinson will be making several appearances in Northern California for readings and discussions of his latest novel. So far three events have been organized, you can also find them on the calendar on the left.
