To all North American readers -- please make an effort to purchase MISSY from Northwestern University Press either directly from them or on Amazon or B/N or Bookshop.org. Please don't give your money to resellers. It was very kind of Northwestern University Press to acquire the North American rights and publish Missy after it had already come out internationally and if we want to support a culture of arts and letters, we need to support institutions like NUP.

How do you know that you're buying the American edition? Easy. It's got Chicago on the cover!
