Alright, now we are going WAY too far! :-(
Cheers,
David
P.S. Let's just say the chances of me writing another
book after expectations have been raised to this level
are slim and none. "Map Projections! As good as the
Bhaqavad Gita!"

Mine just arrived, too, and it is beautiful. When I perused the
pre-press PDFs I guess I didn't "get" the breadth of the book. Now,
with it my hands, the genius of the Coyote Graphics system is plain to
see. "This is it!" keeps popping into my head.
I don't think it is a coincidence that Amazon is trying to pitch a boxed
set of Feynman's Lectures on Physics on the same page as David's new
endeavor.
Yeah, David!

Whoa! My stock is up 10 points this morning! Thanks! :-)
I would say a number of you should be getting a book in the
next day or two. If anyone wanted to gush about it in an
Amazon.com book review, it would be MOST appreciated. :-)

Surely you're joking! Mr Feynman?
