I got my shipping notice today. With the Christmas postal surge and international mailing times, I don't expect it'll arrive till the new year now, but it's good to know it's on the way.
Cheers

Have any started landing in the UK?
Mine hasn't arrived yet but I'm not complaining. Just still patiently waiting. Curious to see if any others have landed in the UK yet though.
Cheers

I'm really excited to get mine. I was notified that a shipping label was created but for some reason the package hasn't actually gone out yet (they sent me a tracking number). Luckily I have a Christmas present that will show up before this belated birthday present!

Mine showed up today along with a hard back edition of James Blish's "STAR TREK 12", which I had won on eBay.
And as I do my afternoon's writing, I'm listening to JG's motion picture score.
It's all a bit Trekky in my house right now.

Perhaps we can all graduate to sharing the book proper and our own VERY interesting thoughts in the coming weeks. I'm kinda psyched!
OK 's time to put thy money (why I oughta--there's not much of THAT left it's pretty much all going to Kritzerland these days) where thy mouth is, Mr. L.
From FOREWORD (2014):
"On the other hand, we have decided not to abridge it."
Good. I always enjoy a roadshow version as The Creator originally intended vs. one that only bean counters, backers and haters of watermelon have in mind. Because they have only one thing in mind.
"We now deliver you to a future that was created in the past--told as if we were in the present."
Oh that LK sure knows how to turn a good phrase. It reminds me of a line from Camelot that entranced me as a kid, re Merlin: He doesn't age. He youthens. He can remember the future so he can tell you what you'll be doing in it.
This is going to be a fun read. It already is.
From ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (1999):
"Sadly, a number of people who shared their memories with my tape recorder are no longer around to read their words on these pages. The most recent such loss was one of the film's stars, DeForest Kelley."
This line reads with added poignancy "in the present" what with the death of Leonard Nimoy just a few days ago. And it's clear early on that our dear friend who once fancied himself as a "simple, country doctor" left the most enduring impression out of all of 'em on PNJ.
And oh my, Creator Jones, we seem to be on the same page from an earlier reply on this thread:
...It was, as usual, all about the people. Oh, the chemistry! For some reason DeForest Kelley has proved the focal point for me. I think it has something to do with the alternate hot-headedness, humor and warmth of his McCoy.
I'll need more time to nail this all down. Am sure the book will be a tremendous help.
Again, it already is.
