The Ivy Book
I've decided to pre-order mine from Amazon well in advance instead of waiting until just before going on holiday (late August). This is something many of us have been waiting for, having heard bits of gossip about it via the forum for quite a long time. It's going to be massive for those ITK. Brooks and the like could do themselves a bit of good by having it for sale by the till. If they've got the nous. Signed copies should sell like hot cakes.

Ah, that new shop. Like Manuel, I'm afraid, 'I know nothing'. Hope they staff it carefully.

Re: The Ivy Book
The weeks are going by and my pre-order is ready and waiting. This is the one. I have a feeling there'll be a second print run quite quickly and the first batch will be going for black market prices.

Oh Christ I hope so. Maybe I can retire at 45 and buy a villa in Tuscany, kids speaking Italian, swimming in the pool, sipping Brunello and grappa. Pre-orders on Amazon are pretty strong. One thing that made me laugh was seeing the editor of the book, a very sweet but rather straight man, wearing a pair of brand new Bass Weejuns the other day! He has been Ivyied up by The Ivy Look!

Re: The Ivy Book
Stock has been checked in at the port and is on a lorry on the way to the distributor as we speak. Books should be despatched to customers in a few weeks. I bet you lot think it's shit when you see it. I have this awful nagging fear... It's good for the bog anyway.

Re: The Ivy Book
I'm hoping to have it in my hands just as I arrive back from St. Servan in early September.

Re: The Ivy Book
Mines on order from Amazon too, I'm hoping it will arrive in time to take away with me to California. I shall while away the hours by the pool reading it.
GG rest assured there is no possibility that it could ever be shit.
