---Phonecall from Jacob at Tachyon selling me on some copies of a special limited edition of his new Terry Bisson book. He also caused me to remember (again) that my pre-order from his fulfiller (IPG) for Strange Itineraries (Tim Powers) has not showed up. He urged me to get that order in posthaste because the book is selling quickly and is even slated for a second printing. With the excess of used books that have been surging up from the cellar I am still in a holding-pattern mode when it comes to ordering new books--mainly just standing orders have been showing up of late. But there are a few things I ought to get before it is too late. So I resolve to at least get my Tachyon order sent out (the Bisson ltds. and a re-supply of the last couple or so available of the special edition of the Powers book should be on the way directly from Tachyon).
