[sumo] "gaijin yokozun"Akebono's story to tell

[MBtatton at aol.com]

Hello Lynn,

Been a while since I mailed but hope you are OK.

Just saw your SML post and wondered if you'd had any progress on the books?

Completely forgot about this one to be honest and just remembered you were at 
Kodansha when you were here in Tokyo early on this year - April was it? 

I did hear from a contact in Kodansha a while later that they had no plans 
for English language books on sumo at present due to it being a hard sell or 
whatever so fingers crossed you got a publisher stateside. Sounded an interesting 
concept when we spoke on the phone so I'd like to read it sometime.

Take care.
