• We were only able to acquire the rights to make this book available to readers in the US, so unfortunately we can't open it up to readers in the UK. You may be able to find it at your local library or bookstore.

• Why isn't it available to CDNs? I'm annoyed with this because it is the 5th or 6th time I've wanted to read a book only to be blocked because of where I live. And, in every instance, it was available to Americans. Discrimmination by geographical location. What next?

• Usually if we don't have the rights to make the book available to the entire world we only have the rights to open it to readers in the United States.
  
  We don't have many books that are restricted in this way, though. @Chromatic, which books have you tried to read and been blocked?

• Paranoia comes readily to mind. There are others. I wasn't keeping a list; but, I will start ASAP.

• @Chromatic: Paranoia was one of the books that we could only offer to US readers. We always try to make sure we have books with world rights available--and in most cases, we do--but yes, that was one that was restricted.
