Okay, Steve finally got back to us and he's going to try and make the book more available in other places if possible. I'll keep you guys posted on when that'll happen.

very nice, going to order

By the way does anyone have the picture book that gw made for amark? Read about it a while ago but never saw it, that might be to include for this compilation

my copy came in today.  actually it came a few days ago but i just now had time to pick it up today.

this is really nice.  i want to thank you a lot for doing something like this.  i was only vaguely aware he even wrote anything so finding out he wrote enough material for a small book (and more?) was a pleasant surprise.  the book itself is really big.  i was expecting it to be a normal-sized book and it's more akin to a children's book in terms of size.  that has nothing to do with anything but it was just an observation i made.

i am not very far in at all but so far it smacks of steel and this is about the best thing i could hope for!  it's been like a year since i regularly conversed with him, and i was kind of forgetting what he was like already.  this book could not have been written by anyone but him!  it sounds like him talking.  everything sounds like him.  turns of phrase and everything.  i didn't know any of this material existed so it's really great to be reading something entirely new and unheard of from him.  it takes me back.  i know i can read it online, which is cool, but it's nice to actually hold it in my hands, and see his name on the cover.  so yeah, thanks a lot!  even though he apparently was not particularly happy with this specific work and IN LIFE probably would not have wanted everyone reading it, it was a great thing to do i think.  then again maybe he is cringing from beyond the grave as we speak.  who knows.

The book's been resized now so it will be smaller if you order it now.
