I got my copy yesterday, though it could have been sitting in the post office a few days before I picked it up.
It's a beautiful book, and I'm happy with it. ![]()

Yes, Hans, I went back and ordered another one, too. Like you Steve, I wanted one to read and one to put away.

Oh dear, and it's not the only typo either; but then I wasn't under any kind of pressure so all my fault...
Luckily your name's right in the title of your entry.

That reminds me of an old Naval 'joke'....
In last war, merchant ship hits mine in North Sea and radios for help. Naval ship is despatched from Harwich. Worried sinking merchantman radios would be rescuer , ^how long do expect to be after leaving harbour?^ Naval rescuer radios back, ^214 ft 10ins as usual!^ BOOM, BOOM!!

Joz, Luu is not at all bad where postage is concerned. They had/have a special rate for Europe that is less than half of what US post normally charges. They must have a helluva contract

After noticing all the buzz about the book, I went and ordered mine today. Early Christmas present for myself. I took the USPS media shipping and my total was only a little over $21. I'm looking forward to getting my copy.

I'm a newcomer to MoM, but after reading about this book here, I thought it would be fascinating to read about other peoples' experiences with Pern and ordered it.
Wow. What a wonderful thing. ![]() Thanks so much to all who were involved! |
