The Long Earth and World of Poo out on 6/21/12

The long wait for The Long Earth and World of Pooh is almost over:



It is now a tradition at NADWCon to read Where's My Cow at the closing ceremonies. The attendees do all the noises.  The World of Pooh offers a very different sort of challenge. I don't imagine that audience participation will be involved. 

My thanks to the Terry Pratchett Facebook page for the photo.

Cheers,

Dj
