Ah Kate! You're a good one!

:-) Definitely flying over the Atlantic, Ruud!
If only....
If only I knew it would take so long,
I would have sent it to Italy or Spain...
where mail from Thessaloniki takes less than 48 hours!
For example, Carlos Botana in Spain had my 18 Octopus
designs...before I put them in the mail at the Greek Post :-)

I just thought I saw the Novel flying over the Netherlands going for the Ocean. Where will it land?

Have no fear, dear Rod!
Nikoltsou has the first 39 pages scanned,
but kept safe as not to reveal the story :-)
Really some great stuff in the Novel!

Also, as each person writes and contributes to the Novel,
we should each keep a copy of our own page/pages, be that
scanned or photocopied or photographed. Just in case it gets
lost in the mail.

The Novel left Greece on November 18th, a.m. at the
university post office. Now we have to be patient to see
how long it will take for overseas air mail to get it to its
next destination!

I was not able to send it "express" or "registered" mail, as
it would have been very expensive. But I was assured that
as a small "packet" it would arrive in a "week-to-10-days".
We are working with postal systems....and hoping for the best.

...and if there is no news on Monday, I shall begin to really get worried.

It might be an idea for who ever has the novel to scan it all in and hold the scan... because I am really worried that the book will become lost in the post as has happened too often before to similar projects. In 1976 I did a mail art project to check on the reliability of the mail and it seemed that it was about 80% reliable, it's all in my book Mail Art Project '76 (I doubt whether any copies are still available). It certainly has not improved since the 70s, a postcard I sent to Amsterdam recently took 12 days to traverse the 250 kilometers.
So please participants, keep Alex constantly updated on the novel's progress.

I completely agree with your proposal Alex.

To summarise what Alex has said...when the book is full start a second book and send on both books.

Another reason not to actually read the novel in transit is that it will be vastly different by the time it reaches you.
