That is what just came in my email. The No Asshole Rule has been published in a lot of different languages now, I should compile the list. The last offer was for a Polish translation -- not exactly a huge market compared to other countries -- but the market for Croatian translations is a lot smaller. They apparently will publish a first run of 1000 copies sometime in the next 18 months. I can hardly wait to see the cover and title -- I will post it when it arrives.
P.S. A big thanks to J.S.W. for spreading the word about the book in Poland.
Sir,
You said "a Polish translation -- not exactly a huge market ". Perhaps in relative terms, yes. But I have personally distributed your book to polish managers so that they learn and teach how to avoid that poisonous and destructive asshole culture. I am said to report that these types of behaviors are quite prevalent in emerging economies, and thus, your book could do more good than an absolute market size might imply.
