The new print run (643 copies) arrived today, a week early. Unfortunately it coincided with Tunja’s holiday which left me and the very kind delivery driver to unload the van. By the time we’d unloaded 80 packs of books I was beginning to regret writing such a thick volume.
Now we just need to find a corner to tuck them into or failing that a large table cloth to put over the top.
