Steve wanted it. I ordered another copy. It won the award. I re-ordered before the second person called, so I set a copy aside for her and have another on the way. I don't usually order multiple copies of new hardcover books unless it's an important Michigan author. But I agree we're an eccentric bunch in our biblio-excitement. One person's yawn is another's page-turner and vice versa.P. J.

Steve writes that a book about, among other things, "rooms full of monks bent over their desks, completely silent for hours, except for the scratching of their pens on parchment" was a real page-turner for him--<i>and you had it in stock. Multiple copies.</i><br /><br />As is proper.Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
