I already got it! Went and ordered it when I got the announcement on the BA’s newsletter.

I’m through the first two chapters now. It’s worth reading. Heck, I read some this morning before I left for work. It’s even worth reading at 6AM!

Yeah think I’ll be buying it too.

I follow the BA board as well as here, the BA is like the Uncle Cecil you can actually talk to. The guys on that board really know their stuff.

My dream is to see hUB’ come over to the SDMB for a while so we could try and force him to talk proper. But sadly I’m sure he’d win in the end and emerge victorious.

Even though no one is really sure what he’s talking about, he has this strange ability to make you think it’s your fault if you don’t understand him.

Anyway, BA, best of luck with the book. Although I don’t think you need luck, it can’t fail.
