Why so much waiting?

Dear Moonless,

I would imagine that all the various translators don't get the
"galley" copies to work from until the editing process is done on the
original English version. Then *that* version has to be edited in its
turn and maybe reviewed by Bloomsbury.  That extra layer of work puts
all the translated versions at a disadvantage time-wise.

Have you read each book in English *and* Spanish? If so, a lot of us
would be interested in your opinion whether the Spanish version
captures the feel of the English one, or if there are any interesting
differences.

Best, Jim Ferer
