Preparations are underway for me to promote Gambling on Magic in Istanbul in mid-September 2006.
The Turkish title is Büyüyle Kumar Oynamak
According to wikipedia, “Istanbul is chosen as the European Capital of Culture for 2010. Istanbul is nicknamed "The City on Seven Hills" because the historic peninsula which is the oldest part was built on seven hills, also represented with seven mosques, one at the top of each hill.”
Venüs Yayınları, the publisher, has brought out a Turkish edition of Gambling on Magic. Interviews, book signings, and talks are being arranged. This will be my first trip to Istanbul and from the old hands who are world travelers, I am told this is one city not to miss.
