And what a great book it's going to be. I've had many interesting talks with Jim about it.

Amazon has most of the information wrong. Steinmeyer's book on Charles Fort will be coming out next May from a different publisher.
Worth waiting for.

Hi, Richard -

Will you have a link to Amazon for ordering? If I recall correctly, this helps fund the Forum, correct?

Thanks -

Mark

Yes, we'll have a link up when the times comes.
And, yes, ordering anything from amazon.com by entering through any of the portals on the right helps to support the Forum.

According to the Ingram, the general book wholesaler we deal with, it is now slated for May 1, 2008 publication by Jeremy P. Tarcher, an imprint of Penguin books. Nothing yet on the Tarcher site about it yet though. Looking forward to it in any case!
