Australia, New Zealand, and other Commonwealth countries
(like La Belle Province, K) are normally covered for book
marketing purposes by English publishers; theoretically, if
there is a UK edition even theoretically available, then US
editions are not allowed to be sold there -- though this is a
practice that's breaking down, however illegally, and
specialist book stores especially will often have stocks of
US editions especially if UK ones are out of print.

If this isn't clear, it's because I'm suffering from a
classic hard-boiled noirish head cold in a US edition. Right
at this moment, I'm wishing there were a law to prevent
dentists from San Diego with heavy head colds from sitting
next to me in airplanes.
