Hi, Grace, I had one like that a short while ago. I sent a copy of the title page to Jesse (he was still working at the time) and he ascertained that the British Company either was a subsidiary of an American company, I think Random House, or vice versa, i.e., the American Company was a subsidiary or somehow otherwise in a relationship with the British company and so it was o.k. I thik the book was Silk, by Alessandro Baricco. ( know his third book has been submitted (I forget the name). If that's the one you're validating, it's o.k.
