    I took advantage of their free shipping with a pre-order, so hopefully mine is on it's way. I look forward to reading it and maybe I can find some interesting tidbits to share. Thanks for keeping us (meimage) updated with the links!

    Thanks for pointing out this book - I'll probably order a copy once someone gives a review.

    Does anyone know the Chapter Titles?
    The book description states that the "Millennia Collection" is referenced throughout the book, but I can't find what that collection is.

    No, but thanks for reminding me...Citibank had some kind of enormous security breach and has changed my card number--I think in the interim between my order and the time for shipping, so....I guess I'd better call them up and give them the new card number so they can send it.

    The Whitman Publishing truck is rolling on from Charlotte ANA straight to Baltimore. When I left Charlotte Sunday morning there were still a few copies of Money of the World left, so if you're in Baltimore stop by and inquire.

    Ira Goldberg and Bruce Lorich were on hand to autograph the book Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately David Vagi and Ana Lonngi de Vagi (who, along with Bruce, Dick Doty, Bob Hoge, and Mike Shubin, wrote chapters of the book) had to tender their regrets last week and weren't able to make an appearance. We're aiming to get everyone together for a massive autograph session at the next New York International show!
