They didn't have it, Dave.  They are now aware of its coming out in PB, however.  Oh well, on to Browser Books on Filmore tomorrow (and maybe Books, Inc. too....)

Okay Dave - spread the religion to Browser Books (who didn't know it had been released and got pretty excited when I told them about it).  Haven't checked Books, Inc. yet - it's raining and I'm San Franciscan.  But I'll call....

I went down to Books Inc and they have it!  It looks great.

thanks, linda.

two more coming up:

The LA Book Awards April 23, and the Edgars April 29. Those will be tougher to win, especially the LA one. It will be a fun week.

And I can breathe easier now, because I won't end empty-handed.

(There is also the Audie awards, but I don't think anyone is flying me out for that. I don't even know when it is, or where.)

Congratulations Dave! I hope this award is to the Pulitzer what a Golden Globe is to the Oscar. That it bodes well.

Cheers. Ian
