The UK version of Be More Chill was published by HarperCollins UK. It came with its own Flash movie, which was cool. (Unfortunately all that remains is this screenshot.)
I traveled throughout England 6/28/04-7/3/04 to promote the book and got to see the Firth of Forth, one of my favorite bridges when I was a boy, among other sights. Here are the pictures on flickr:

In Germany, Be More Chill was published Bertelsmann Jugenbuch Verlag (or "Random House" to you).
The German version of Be More Chill is called "Cool: Und was ist mit Liebe"? (According to my brother, that means "Cool: And what's with Love"?)
The copies has a vellum jacket with all the text; when removed, the jacket reveals the wraparound faces of, uh, a very Germanic Jeremy and Christine:
Also, the translator of the German edition had some hilarious questions about words I used:
Hi, Ned Vizzini,
you wrote a great book! I translate it into German and there are some questions I would like you to answer as fast as possible as they gave me a terrible short deadline…
Here we go:
p.25 Who is Rick James?
47 dur
64 phillies
70 pimpin’
85 seeing eye dogs
87 poonanti
107 hairy necessaries
118 GLAAD
126 palsy, palsy-ish
214 For a guy, there’s something dangling in front of your face or something sticking out your ass.
It would be most helpful, if you could interpret or circumscribe these expressions, so I can see if I am on the right track or not.
Do you have the German edition of the book? Email me.  |

Germany, which had the cool hardcover Be More Chill with the clear jacket (which some people got in one of our giveaways), is the first non-US nation to have a BMC paperback in addition to a hardcover. Same design, no clear jacket.

In Italy, Be More Chill has been published by Mondadori, Italy's largest publishing group, with the title "Datti Una Mossa".
I've been getting very cool letters from Italy like the one below. Thanks so much to everyone who has gotten the book in Italy; I really apprecaite the mail.
Hi Ned!First of all,I want to tell you that I'm Italian,so please forgive me if my English isn't perfect.I bought your "Be more chill" (in Italian,obviously)just yesterday and I have already read it.Last night.Well,it's great,congratulations,even though the end it's a bit...oh,you know what I'm talking about! :-) !
Ok,the reason why I'm writing is that I'm 19 years old and I really,really love writing books.Both novels and short stories.I've been writing since I was 7 and I won 2...can I say "competitions"?I'd really like to become a writer,because it's the only things that makes me free and makes me fly,if you know what I mean:I think so.
Do you have the Italian edition of the book? Email me. |
