    You know, guys, I didn't know about this book before I was at the Princeton Book Festival yesterday, when the JaZams bookseller, Joanne, told me (pointing behind me to where you were both sitting) it was her favorite book of the year so far---and it's the end of September! She said I HAD to buy it! I proceeded to go to your table and in talking to you both, there was no way I didn't WANT to buy it! I'm so glad I did. What a WONderful book!!! You guys are terrific and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet you. John, I'm glad you reminded me you did a podcast! I hopped on here tonight to listen :D

    Thanks, all three of you, for a GREAT time spent! :D
