Hi, I would like to add my voice to Dave Fobare's. When is the book coming out? As an academic, I can readily understand and accept Professor De Vany's wish that the book when produced will be as good possible, and goodness knows time is always the problem. However, since joining this list in November 2000, I've only gained a snippet here, a concept there and it's all pretty frustrating. Even an indication of a publication date would be helpful. Iain T.
