No, I didn't get mine yet, but has anyone? How is it? Do tell!

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.

Actually, what I'd noticed is that your 'voice' in the intros is similar to the
way you sounded online back then.

If they're smart, they let some of their best customers 'subscribe' to the
series, too. Wonder what they'll be selling #15 for.

Just think where they'd be shipping if you hadn't resticted sales to this one
little planet. <g>

Just a reminder notice to everybody that the second volume of the B5
script books will become available tomorrow, the 26th, at 6:00 p.m.
Pacific.

And in answer to the requests for getting Cool Stuff featuring B5
quotes with Christmas coming on...you'll find it there at around the
same time.  Basically, I figured...what would I like to have?  So I
went through, picked out my favorite quotes, gave them to the B5
scripts team...and they came back with Mucho Goodness.

I think one of them in particular will make Jan very happy.
