Soy de Barcelona, pero no estoy segura de si podré pasar a recoger el libro el dia fijo de la presentación... ¿Se me guardaría en la misma librería para cuando lo pudiese pasar a buscar?

Hi Melissa,
Thank you for your interest :)
Once the project reaches the funding target and I am able to print the book, I will publish the names of the bookstores in Barcelona where the book will be available on the blog: http://thekingandthetree.blogspot.com.es/
If the target is reached (fingers crossed!!)
the book should be available at the end of March.
With a smile, Kate
