That is what drew me in as well, besides it being a novel by Eco

Apparently it's set in the nineteenth century and deals with topics like the Commune of Paris, the Protocols of Zion, the free-masons, satanism, the unification of Italy, the Dreyfus case and, one would assume, the cemetery of Prague.
And according to that blurb, it's all based on real events, though they would say that. Still, I'll definitely be reading this at some point (and equally definitely not in Italian, not Eco).

From what I can figure out by glancing at the Italian cover description, it sounds awesome.

But that's not to say there won't be more difficult Italian words he doesn't know.

Eco in Italian IS very difficult if you're not fluent.

Let me rephrase: I'm going to wait for a hardcover version in Italian or English.

I don't understand it. Are they cheap, poor or do they just not love books?

It sounds like the French, Spanish and Italians don't read but the Germans do.

What are the American percentages, then?

Yes, I don't think percentages are relevant. Gross statistics would matter much more.
