Sorry, Ray, but I ordered Amazon's last copy of Bean's Song. Now you'll have the extra work of sending them more copies. And no one will be able to buy them from Amazon in the meantime! It's all part of my evil plan to make the book unavailable to anyone. I would have ordered it from your website (I assume you make more money that way), but I was already ordering some kids books at Amazon (The White Mountains, City of Gold and Lead, Pool of Fire, and The Great Brain), so I figured I'd save money on shipping if I ordered it from them.

actually I've long believed that we'd sell more books if we did it through Amazon, and I try to encourage folks to get it through that outlet, so way to go!!
I may have to order another one through Amazon, just to prime the warehouse to buy another five. (seeing as how I don't need it in a timely fashion, as I already have a couple copies.) :)
Heh.

BTW, Ray, if it doesn't shock you that I bought the last copy, this will: I'm planning to use your book as part of my homeschool curriculum! My son, as part of his homeschool, reads a certain amount of fiction books. I picked up several others, but eventually your book will come up in the rotation.
