OK I've been to the site, read the first chapter and all the info there and what I want to know is:

Why isn't it going to be commercaily (sp) avalible? (ie Found in all good book stores)

I live in the Uk so postage would cost nearly as much as the book itself! Come on dude give me a UK release date to work with.

To the best of my knowledge Syrup was released a considerably long time ago, world-wide. It will have already been removed from the shelves.

You should be able to find it at a local library. That's what I did--there was no other economical way of doing it.

Are Library's gonna stack books that you can't even get in the UK?

Actually Syrup has never been released in the UK. (For details, see http://www.maxbarry.com/syrup/buy.html .)

But you can now order it from Amazon.co.uk (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140291873/theofficimaxxbar) (they import it).

Yay! I might do that if JG is anything to go by.

It's worth it. Syrup takes place in modern America, so you don't have the crazy capitalizm (just normal cut-throat capitalism), but it's a great read. And Scat's a cooler central character than Hack Nike.

Cheers for the info on it!
