I&#8217;ve been informed that the book will probably not arrive into Europe or Australia for another couple of weeks, so please be patient  &#8211; I hope to have a list of stores that will sell the book in all sorts of different cities soon. I have updated a list of bookstores on <a href=\"http:\/\/archives.piajanebijkerk.com\/WordPress\/pias-first-book-paris-made-by-hand-is-out-now\/\">the book&#8217;s webpage here<\/a>, and will continue to update it as I hear about more bookstores. <\/p>\n<p>2. If you have a store in Australia and would like to stock the book, please contact Random House Australia via <A href=\"mailto:CustomerService@randomhouse.com.au\">email here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>3. If you feel so inclined to write a review about the book on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Paris-Decorators-Stylists-Source-Unique\/dp\/1892145707\/ref=pd_ts_b_3?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books\"target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> I would be absolutely thrilled.
