Speaking of moving abroad: The Back of the Napkin takes Asia!

Over the past few weeks, I've received three of the first non-US editions of THE BACK OF THE NAPKIN in the mail.

The first to arrive was the Taiwan edition, published by Yuan-Lion, Taipei. I understand that within weeks it had become a bestseller in Taiwan.

Next arrived the South Korean edition, published by Book 21, Seoul.

And yesterday I received the Japanese edition, published by Kodansha, Tokyo.

I want to thank all the editors, writers, and designers for such spectacular work! It is difficult to describe the pleasure of seeing my words in a language I can't read -- while my pictures remain clear without any translation required.

I'm telling you folks, visual thinking is the global language of the future.

I love your book and already got some very good ideas out of it. And I say this though I am a PowerPoint specialist (Microsoft MVP) and trainer.
But I would like to see a German translation of your book, so that I can recommend it to my co-workers, some of them shy back from reading non-fiction books in English.
