It is going to be out in time to get a copy autographed at Summit? It says "Winter 2011". I picked up a book last year and had all the SSC people I could find sign it - it was the best souvenir I picked up.

Awesome Gail, glad to see at least one of your projects has gone well, even if exhausting to get there! :w00t:
