    Source: chinese article from sina.com
    Here is the link, there is the cover page of the book

    If I understood well, Yao Ming's english autobiography will be released the 22th of september. The title of the book is "Yao: A life in 2 worlds". He will make the promotion of this autobiography the 28th in New York, at Rockefeller center.

    The content focus on how he arrived and adapted himself to his new life (certainly lots of his thoughts and comparisons with his chinese life, how he thinks about the coaches, the players and vice versa), all his efforts and the fights in the nba, his confrontations with Shaq... Also have some great quotes like "I am a blue collar worker working hard for the wages".

    Edited by Miramax Books, it has 256 pages. 22,5 dollars is the initial price... and some contract details. It is co written with Ric Butcher of ESPN magazine who spent hundreds of hours to discuss with Yao.

    Sorry for my english grammar mistakes! hope it will be released in France!

    Employee #11?

    I'm sure that UK Amazon would sell it. And I'm guessing that they're willing to ship to France.
