 Mine came in a week (I ordered it from Borders Books); I imagine you may
get
 it faster through Amazon.com.  I warn you, though!  It's seventy-five
 dollars!  Do you have a generous family? :)

(Right, Herman... not expensive as encyclopedias go, but it's really only
240 pages long.)

 Alas, probably not, Taliesin.  I'm too overbooked and totally stressed out
 with classes, papers, and revisions.  Speaking of stress, please accept my
 apologies, all, for my heated handling of my stupid PayPal fiasco.  It's
 taken care of and I want to thank everyone for their help with that, with
 special apologies to Sai, whom I yelled at.  I have a naolffetor in me that
 I'm trying to rein in, and can most of the time, but it emerges, like a
 KREFIMORT, when I'm in a panic and angry.  Should never post when it's
 roaming around like that in my brain. Chalk it up to insecurity and
hypomania.

 This an other things made me pretty sick
 at Thanksgiving.  Vertigo, sleeplessness, tachycardia, massive OCD about
 book.  I don't have a word for vertigo in T.  It is really one of the most
 unpleasant and frightening feelings, plus the damned nausea.  GOD, those
who
 have Meniere's disease have my full sympathy!!  At least mine was
transient.
