Hey demtiger, did you successfully receive the Santathing book I chose for you? Just curious to make sure it all worked out -- Garp

Hey DemTiger -- Received your second "SantaThing" book today and boy I was impressed! (See the rhetorical comment I posted at my profile page after receiving the first book, before I knew it was from you ....)

Anyway, I always wanted the Hamilton book and just never picked it up so it is very welcome. And I have long been fascinated with Burr; I believe the Isenberg book is the first treatment by a professional historian, although I did read a two-volume bio by Milton Lomask some years before. These two books are wonderful additions to my library and I thank you very much for putting so much thought into the choices.

I got you as SantaThing, so I hope you like what I selected for you, because it happens to be one of my favorite works of American history.

By the way, I see we both share [1491] in our libraries -- did you read it? Outstanding in every way. I read it and shortly after met the author at an event -- a great guy with a terrific perspective.

Have a great holiday!

Hi DemTiger, thank you for connecting with me. When was the last time you read The Art of War?

Sincerely,
Thomas

It will come - that particular publisher just sent out the books late (sorry). So it's en route to you, just delayed!

I think it's slowness on the part of the publishers (not just the mail system). I wouldn't give up hope yet - there are still many people waiting for their copies as well.

Sorry about this! Unfortunately, I don't have much control beyond giving the publishers the names and addresses - from there on it's all them...

You're still waiting for your copy of "Mossad Exodus"? The publishers were sending out books directly, and I think the holidays slowed all mail down. You should get it in the next week or two, if you haven't already.
