Joe,
I spoke to the Director of Luath a few days ago and he said that Green Ray will be published early in 2009. I am seeing him early in December and I will try to get a precise date. The problem has been the rush to get books out in time for the Christmas catalogue. The book is completely finished so it is just waiting its turn in the production line.
Regards,
Ian

  Hello to all -

  I just have a question about the new translation of "The Green Ray".

  I had pre-ordered a copy of the new "Green Ray" form Amazon back in mid-September but had not heard anything until yesterday. They sent me a message saying the estimated arrival date was now 03/12/2009 - 03/18/2009. Does this mean that the book will not be published until then or is it available elsewhere other than Amazon? I tried the website of Luath Press. It listed the book and price, but I couldn't figure out where on the page to place the order.

  Thanks.

  Joe

  The new translation of Le Rayon vert is due for publication at the end of this month by Luath Press, Edinburgh. The translator is an Oxford University graduate in French, Karen Loukes.
  I have read the ms and corrected any errors in translation (I hope!) but did not change the style, which is thus entirely the work of Karen Loukes. I have provided a map and written an Introduction which explains the relationship of the novel to Verne's 1879 journey to the Hebrides. The book contains reproductions of the illustrations. There is an American distributor but most will acquire it from Amazon I imagine.
  Ian Thompson.
