Interesting, thanks for the info. The film is terrific. Rebecca was of course also translated to the screen by Hitch. Haven't seen it yet. Plan to watch all Hitchcock's films eventually. But I digress...

Rebecca entered my personal pantheon of favorites when I read it 6 or seven years ago. Great that it's now available (in the US) as an ebook. I'll probably have to add it to my e-library. Also, a favorite book's release as an ebook is a great excuse to re-read it. I re-read, after 15 years, The Magus by John Fowles a year ago when it was released as an ebook - still great.
