You know you could have skipped that 3rd printing there if you actually sold all the books you have sitting around your house.

The guy I used to get numbers from switched jobs, so it may not be as easy. I asked last Wednesday and he said he'd have to get them from someone else (but...I also called him by the wrong name--the name of someone in the office whom it is popular to dislike (But they start with the same letter and have the same number of syllables!!)--so he said that gave him the right to automatically deny anything I asked him.  :'(  :'(  :'( )

But I will ask again and see if I get any answer.

The second printing didn't have the corrections?

Wow--congraturations.  I think you should start letting other people claim your printings as their own.  As in, Parker--this printing's for you.  Not as good as a dedication, but it's the thought that counts.  Hope it keeps up.

Well, I'm sure they wouldn't be going to a third printing if they thought they were going to get a lot of returns off the first printing.

Thanks, Ookla!  

Maybe I should acknowledge your friend in the next book.  Do you think he would like that?

...Maybe? He doesn't get his name in books around here usually, unlike me... I'll ask him!!!

I'm sorry, we can't have two Eric's here, it's far too confusing.

You'll all have to stop calling e Eric, ya hear? Or else I'll get confused and make a fool of myself. And you wouldn't want that.

Of course not.
