For those of us who can't wait
If you have iTunes, AATE is available for pre-order, along with a sample which includes all of the first chapter and first half of the second chapter, which I've just finished reading. That might hold me over til next Tuesday.

I think I'm gonna take the week off and do a re-read from the beginning.

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Re: For those of us who can't wait
Thanks for this. I have an iPad, so at your instigation I downloaded the free preview and re-read chapter 1 and the extract of chapter 2. This was my first experience of extended reading of an iBook, and I must say that I am impressed, particularly in the case of reading SRD: whenever I encountered a word whose meaning I didn't know or couldn't recall, I just tapped on it, tapped on "Dictionary", and voila! Instant word power. That, price, portability, and early availability (compared to UK hardcover) mean that I am seriously considering buying the iBook version.dlbpharmd wrote:If you have iTunes, AATE is available for pre-order, along with a sample which includes all of the first chapter and first half of the second chapter, which I've just finished reading.

I haven't ordered yet, but I assume it would be available for download on the UK publication date (not before).dlbpharmd wrote:I have an iPad as well. I've read the iBooks versions of ROTE and FR in preparation for the release of AATE, and I greatly prefer the iBook version of AATE to the earlier works. Do you have any idea how soon it will be delivered to your iPad?
