Last time I saw Morry the author, he was in a wheelchair. A few years back he told me he wanted to do an English version, but since so much time has passed I kind of doubt it will happen. He signed my copy, which is kind of cool.
I think I paid around a C-note for the book, and at the time I thought I was insane for paying that for a book. I saw one on Ebay recently for some ridiculous sum.
