word from Ash-Tree

Email from Ash-Tree:

Hello:

Reggie Oliver's book will be ready for shipping next week. Indications are that this will be a popular title, and if you have not already considered increasing your normal order, we feel that you may like to do so: we feel sure that there will be a strong demand for the new collection from this increasingly popular author.

Please let us know if you have any problems with the attached file.

all best,

Christopher & Barbara

---As always, I can forward the PDF if you would like. It mentions a podcast by Reggie Oliver of him reading one of the stories. I think the URL in the PDF is wrong. I tracked it down to http://gsspodcast.mypodcast.com/2007/11/Reggie_Oliver_reads_PussCat-58695.html.
