anyway you can arrange to have this out on march 16th?  would be a frabjous birfday present, i'm just sayin'....

 

i certainly hope the stooge is paying you some sort of kickback commission for introducing him and his talent to your current friends and former shipmates; it seems only fair.

 

can i be really geeky now and holler, "first!"?

The publisher says yes to 3/16 if you advance order 24,000 copies. Happy Birthday early.

Yay! I'll be sure to grab it.

Thanks. Buy early and often.

Tell the stooge, "Congratulations on the upcoming book!" for me.  I'll be sure to grab a copy come March.

p.s. sorry to see that the whale and pirate tales don't rate a mention in "other work"...it's your the stooge's finest, if you ask me.  But I'm sort of biased, I guess.

That ought to get added, I guess.

Thanks. Buy early and often.

Of course the stooge had nothing to do with it. This just keeps the feds out of what's left of my hair.

Gus,

 

The publicity dept on your new book seems on the ball.  the website is way cool.

They're all incredibly bright and talented and physically attractive, especially the ones reading this.

what about the bright and talented and physically attractive person who wrote this commment? 

You tell us; How are you?

well , if you have to ask...

hmmm...all my stooge books are autographed, how can i possibly own one that is not? 

Glad you asked. The excellent store in Alabama that trafficked the signed whale-killing journals is doing the same for this book. Their Once A Spy page just went up today.
