Cool, Vic. I guess that being listed by Harvard means the You Have Arrived. I certainly hope so! For our non-British readers, ‘chuffed’ means ‘delighted’. Check the slang derivation if you dare.
Hi,
The new book looks awesome, Do you know if it will be in Canada, I truly love the work you put into your website, And I would also like to thank you for making me a more well rounded person……
What a lovely compliment! I’m not sure when the book will be available in Canada (keep checking Amazon.com), but I am sure it will come your way soon! Vic

Thanks so much for sharing, Vic! And I agree, you have arrived… =)
What a beautiful edition! Thank you for the sneak peek and congratulations on the mention by Harvard University Press. :)
it looks beautiful! I absolutely loved one of the new edition, I think it was published in 2009, absolutely beautiful too.
I’m chuffed as well, Vic! Can’t wait to get this. And congrats on the mention!
The book is gorgeous. Just so you know, I already have mine; it’s out on Amazon. I pre-ordered it in August expecting it in October, but mine arrived last week!
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’m curious how this book compares to David M. Shapard’s version.
