For those of you who may be anxiously awaiting the arrival of this book in the bookstores or online, I learned today from one of the co-authors, Bo Sullivan, that the books are currently enroute from the printer to the distribution centers and should be available in early December. I've already put my order in and looking forward to reading it cover to cover during the long, cold winter coming up. Merrill -- J.
