Well, when you get your March 88 issue of Locus, you will see in the
People&Publishing column:
        WILLIAM GIBSON has turned in Mona Lisa Overdrive to Bantam.
        The British edition from Gollancz, scheduled for April, will
        precede the U.S. edition, scheduled for November.

My understanding is that the Concordes are already booked solid for the
month of April and that the Louvre is going to send the Mona Lisa on
tour as part of the promo -- oops, wrong reality.
