I have spoken to a lady here in Holland, she has informed me that she still has a few copies in Dutch in her shop - she also states that she has been asked for an English version by a few people. so here's hoping a publisher can grow a pair and publish the book in English!

I believe a translation into English will happen if Mr..Amaral wins his case, but maybe not before.

Thanks almostgothic, Amaral has of course to go to Court over the Correia charge, that Trial has been postponed twice , the result of this could
obviously affect opinion . BTW If you are paid £1 million for serialisation of your book, I presume the deal was done weeks before publication . The
book was published 10th May, would that sum be included in your accounts to 31st March.?

The serialisation fee would be in the current accounting year (to March 2012) I would imagine (unless it was agreed well before publication date) and these accounts have not yet been made available in company House. Even if serialisation was agreed before March 31 2011 the money wouldn't have been paid out until it appeared which was in the current accounting year.
But the (allegedly) very big advance for the book should be in the accounts to March 2011 which are available. The advance would have been paid when the contract was signed which was approx Oct 2010 when the media reported it.
