what is it people dont get?
paper walls is a collection of short stories (one of the stories was called paper walls)
let the old dreams die was a collection of stuff by JAL (including the short story let the old dreams die)
english let the old dreams die will include the short stories from paper walls AND the short story let the old dreams die.

from JAL himself in this very thread:
It is the collection "Paper walls" under a different name, and with the title story added
there is no english paper walls, it will be called let the old dreams die.

OK.
Here's the source of all the confusion.
Untill recently Australian Text Publishing was going to release an English version of the book of short stories by JAL called "Paper Walls". The collection was set to come out in October '12 and was going to include a short story Let The Old Dreams Die. Then I heard that Quercus Books will publish collection of short stories called "Let The Old Dreams Die" in English on August '12.
When I contacted Text Publishing about possible discrepancy I was told that at one point the upcoming book was going to be titled "Paper Walls", but this may no longer be the case and the title will be "Let The Old Dreams Die".
That's it. Let there be light!!!!

I still haven´t written much on the story, but I have something like 200 pages of notes, monologues, scenes, character descriptions and so on. And I still don´t know if it´s going to be a murder mammooth 1000-pager or a slim thing.
I vote for "mammooth". :mrgreen:

Hopefully it won't be a tome of "The Stand" like proportions. Less is more....almost always.
...and the book needs a really cool title. "X" just won't do. :)

Nice cover...finally. The book is still unavailable for pre-order from The Book Depository. Amazon UK will let you pre-order, but they charge hefty s/h. Maybe next month Depository will work out all the problems and do the right thing.
