Mike,

Great news! We've been hearing about this book for ages, and Joanna's
health problems have often made it seem as if it was never going to appear.
Can hardly wait -- thank Gods she's getting it out before I turn in the
final mss. of my new novel -- I have absolutely no doubt that something
in her book will spark absolutely crucial trains of thought etc.
