OTOH, Tim received - I suspect - more than fair compensation.  And his =
novel is being reissued in April.

I am reminded when China Mieville was in DC at Politics & Prose some time =
ago and he was asked if he's be concerned if a movie of "Perdito Street =
Station" would ruin the book.  He thought not, since the book would always =
be around.  His other comment regarding a movie was "Show me the money."

Also, Tim & Serena gets a round trip flight to Reno in August.
