Looking Glass Wars trilogy

I got interested in Frank Beddor's Looking Glass Wars because of his comic book tie-in that's illustrated by Ben Templesmith and lettered by a buddy of mine, Jason Hanley. I picked up a copy of the novel at WizardWorld Chicago a couple of years ago and loved it. It's fast-moving, exciting, and has a nice blend of children's adventure and darker themes.

What I didn't realize was that my copy wasn't an official US version. The US one is just now being released and according to the press release on it, the book's only been available in the UK (and comics conventions, I guess) until now. But what's even nicer to learn from the press release is that it's the first volume in a planned trilogy. Like Star Wars, the first volume reads as a complete story, but it's cool to know that there's more to come.
