How mean. I can understand them wanting to protect their market, but I expect most people wanting the US edition on this side of the pond will be collectors who will also buy the UK edition(s), so the number of sales Orbit will lose as a result will be small. Far smaller, I'd speculate, than the number of people who won't buy the UK edition because of such underhand tactics.
The best strategy might be to find a US bookseller who'll be at Interaction, and ask them to bring over a copy.
