Hi everyone,
my new book has just arrived, and from what I've read so far it's very
well laid out, intuitively written and beautifully presented. It even
comes with a personalised dedication to me from David, which was an
unexpected bonus.
I've had my nose stuck into chapter eight all morning, and I don't
think I've learnt as much in a single day since I left the real world
for grad school!
If anyone's still sitting on the fence wondering whether to splash out
on it, I encourage you to make the leap.
Thank you David, I hope you enjoyed writing it as much as I'm enjoying
reading it!
Regards,
Chris
PS I hope Mrs Spon was aware what she was getting herself into by
buying me this; I suspect she'll have a few weekends to herself now I
have this book, whether she intended it or not! :-)

Most appreciated. Thank you very much! Your
"reads like a novel" comment brought tears to
the eyes of my 7th grade English teacher (as
well as making my day!).

I'm off on a two week "book tour" this morning, but
I am leaving word here to be on the look-out for it. :-)
Cheers,
David

I hope our institut library will get a copy soon.
They asked a local book store to order one.
