Well now, I just did get mine. The outside looks nice, I've flipped
through it, but now I gotta go and and dive in. Bye!

Have fun!

And for those looking forward to Volume 2, the website now shows that it'll be
available for ordering November 26 at 6:00 PM pacific.

JMS seems to be having a great time writing the volume descriptions.  Check out

Sometimes I get a little loopy, yeah....

BTW, a number of SF-oriented bookstores have started buying copies in
groups, so that they can get it at the discounted rate during the 7 day
window, and sell them thereafter at the cover price, making a ten buck
profit per book...something I hadn't thought about or mentioned as a
possibility until it began happening, which is actually kind of a cool
idea.

They've now sold copies to over 30 countries, including Zaire and
Saudia Arabia, which for some reason just astonishes me.

If you have access to your web site statistics, it's always fun to see
the list of countries that visit the site.

Is this the first time you've been so intimately involved in the sales
end of your stuff? 

I know that regular distribution channels also collect this data, but
they seldom pass the information along to authors.
