Hey, folks.  One final update.  I am told the publisher is shipping out the 350 pre-orders to me today.  There was a delay caused by the Thanksgiving holiday and an issue involving the freight for the order.  When I made the deal with Pelican, their warehouse was eight miles up the street from me, so no discussion in the contract about who would cover that expense.  The new owner's warehouse is in S.C., so that complicated things.  We finally worked out our differences and I should have the books this week and will immediately sign and send them out to you.  If you have moved in the last 28 months and have not sent me your new address, this is my last request for that information.   Further, I am planning on personalizing the books to whomever I have down on the order, so if you want your copy personalized to someone else, make sure I have that info.  Of my larger orders of multiple copies, I have heard back from most of you as to your personalizing preferences.  Still awaiting word from:  Billy Swan, John Diamond, and Robert McLemore.    Thank you, once more, for your patronage of this effort and for hanging with me.  I am mindful some of you may be gifting copies for Christmas and am trying my hardest to get your order to you in time to send out.  The book is now out on all major internet sites:  Amazon, Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble, Target, Books-A-Million, Google, etc., and should be finding its way to local bookstores.  If you need additional copies, the best deal I've seen at the moment is through Google.  Their site, Shopity, is offering the book for $25.99 with free shipping, but the 20% off expires soon.  In second is a division of Wal-Mart at $27.99  The full retail price is $34.95.  I couldn't have done this without you guys.  Thank you, one and all.  Happy Holidays!
