It is paperback only for now, no Kindle yet. That is a separate publishing path that I will deal with later.

I'm proud to know you.

Well done, Skoop!

It looks like a great premise for a book.

I'll mention it in a tweet later today. I'm no SSS when it comes to social media, but I try!

Amazon rank for this book is around 35,000 which is all kinds of awesome.

Congratulations!

I went to order it but can't right now (blaming on computer, although maybe I just entered my credit card wrong), so I read the first couple of pages that were allowed.

I was delighted to see that Skoop still has that wonderful ability to take very difficult concepts and illuminate them for someone with no background. I wanted to keep reading. Well done!

Sprots, if you have issues next time you try, let me know and I will mail you a copy. Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for the offer! Everything worked like clockwork on second try -- my book will be shipped May 18. I went ahead and ordered July's book club book while I was at it -- The 100 Foot Journey. Can't say I enjoyed Great Expectations all that much -- Miss Havisham is depressing! -- but I'm really looking forward to this one.

I liked the 100 Foot Journey movie pretty well (it was food porn) and I bet the book is even better.

We read and analyzed and overanalyzed Great Expectations my freshman year of High School. I absolutely hated it and made me hate English from then on. :roll:

This makes me glad I never read it until this year.

Indeed! I ordered a batch for myself and will send you one with a unique inscription. Better yet, I will be at the beach in a few weeks and maybe we can get together!

Driving down June 6, returning June 10. If you can't join us, I can surely find you for lunch one of those driving days.
