I ordered the Kindle version as usual for a variety of reasons (lack of space in the physical library, Kindle completionism, simultaneous availability on my phone, PC, and Kindle device, bad eyesight which is greatly alleviated by the option for larger font size in e-books, etc.), but, damn, I will regret not having that Turner's cover on my shelf.
Your notice sent me into a momentary flutter of acquisitive delight, but I soon discovered that my desire is superior to my memory. I apparently preordered the book back on March 1 and am told it will arrive on August 1.
Congratulations on the launch. I look forward to the company of its pages, no less so if much of it is somewhat familiar.
One might say that I approached the advance copy in the spirit of a royal taster approaching the king’s supper: cautiously, dutifully, and conscious of the fact that posterity might remember me chiefly as the first corpse produced by the evening’s menu. Yet here is the news: I did not turn green; I did not clutch my throat; I did not expire beneath the table. I ate the whole thing, and found it a remarkably scrumptious feast.
There's always room for one more on the Hart shelf of my library. (A figure of speech: I'm rapidly running out of space).
I will buy it for sure !
And God will bless you in consequence.

Well, seeing's as how the essays have been purpled . . .
Purfled, not purpled. They were already more than purple enough.
As long as the purfling is purpled, I'm happy!

I am not getting mine ‘til the 10th. Sad.

He has already blessed me with your previous books !
