On the BD site, the pub date is still January but it says they'll be dispatched in a couple of days. I've had this happen before & usually BD then cancels my order & gives me a refund. I'll just order again closer to the pub date but it may put some people off, they may think the books have been cancelled. Maybe Dean Street Press should query this with them?lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-90457731003066524072018-10-01T03:53:05.775-07:002018-10-01T03:53:05.775-07:00Well done all round, Scott, Jerri, DSP, Alexander....Well done all round, Scott, Jerri, DSP, Alexander.

Well done all around!<br /><br />I have always thought of Alexander McCall Smith as a sort of heir of Stevenson's. As a librarian, I remember making (and reading!) those "If you like this author, you'll like that author" lists, and tend to put McCall Smith on the list for those who like DES -- the books themselves may not always be "like" but his gentle, humorous, decent outlook on life is very much like hers, and it comes across in their writing for both of them.Jeannehttp://mathomhouse.typepad.com/bluestocking/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-70649632017941097332018-09-29T09:15:29.417-07:002018-09-29T09:15:29.417-07:00I wisih I could add something new and different, b...I wisih I could add something new and different, but I will say I am all agog with excitement!

Some of you might have seen the lady walking through the trees on the covers of other DES novels published by Collins, but I believe the first time it was used was on the first edition of Mrs. Tim Flies Home. Why they used it on reissues of other titles I have no guess. And Alexander McCall Smith! I remember when Virago got him to write introductions for High Rising and Wild Strawberries by Thirkell, and his name on the intro brought some new attention to the author's works. I certainly hope he enjoys the books, although I would guess he wouldn't agree to write introductions for books he didn't enjoy.<br /><br />Great work, Scott. Can't wait till January.<br /><br />JerriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-48199982813534092122018-09-29T07:29:40.135-07:002018-09-29T07:29:40.135-07:00How delicious they look, Scott!
