I first went through Amazon, and my order went through. Then the next day or two I received an email saying they did not have it, and could not get it. Then I went to Borders and they took my order. Now they are saying they cannot be sent out until December 22nd or later. I called my local Barnes and Noble and Borders stores. Borders didn't have it, and B & N said it was difficult to come by and he could not even get 3 copies. He referred me to the Alagonquin Press (sp?), and I have not contacted them yet. I have read this book and use it weekly. I also read your book about your first year, which I also purchased the same time as your reference books (and I received quickly) for the teachers for Christmas. Thought you might want to know about this delay of your books. ~dsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24418123.post-74821260915937090252009-10-06T22:24:27.363-05:002009-10-06T22:24:27.363-05:00Yes, for sure, Boni!

That is crazy because I feel like you should be teaching the class... I should load up a backpack full of your books for her to take to class to get signed- ha just kidding! Anyway, I enjoy reading your blog from time to time- now I just need to actually read some of the books you mention instead of just reading summaries!Karen Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028892998697123547noreply@blogger.com
