<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Dan,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know how Ann did it, but I just
asked. So, Random House gave me the Spanish language rights to my book
back. Their contract department sent me an addendum to the original
contract. The fun part is that I'm getting my book published
in Spanish(!) (The little company in Spain has also asked for the rights
to Basque, Gallego, and Catalan, but they haven't come through as easily.
I guess it has about zero priority for them.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Asking is a good starting point.</FONT></DIV>
