Seeing the casting I was little unsure, but then seeing some quotes from the book about how Two Rivers folks are described as being dark hair, dark eyed, and dark skinned I am fully in support of the casting decisions as long as the actors are top notch. Especially Mat, he looks perfect for the part.

The books do not say the Emmon's Fielders have dark skin. By Elaida's actions it's obvious they have darker skin tones then Rand's ginger look. However, just about everyone thought that they were as dark as a typical mediterranian person in our day. Think Spaniard, Italian, Greek, or light skin Arab but not obvioulsy black.

It  looks like a California Book tour. You have Chicago as the only city in the Midwest and Raleigh and Mount Pleasant as the only stops in the south and no stops at all in the Northeast!

If you want it done perfectly legal you could always go to Amazon books, I believe they will be selling the prologue as long as the book (when it comes out) and they are set up to handle non-North American purchasers.

If you are a none US resident, just plug in a US address in the ordering lines and use paypal. It's not really Tor's fault by the way; Dragonmount like most sites (inlcuding Tor) set up their own payment sites , because of legal issues "domestic" payment" sites are normally not built to handle foreign purchasers. SInce Tor sells its ofshore rights to publishers in those countries you might want to try your local publishers sites.
