Son-of-a-Weizen Posted November 19, 2006 Report Posted November 19, 2006 I have ordered the book already. Can't wait till it arrives ! Beginning january, says Amazon... B&N is saying Nov 28th which makes it a strong candidate for inclusion on the list ('help-out-your-favorite-mother-in-law-by-giving-her-one-easy-to-locate-holiday-suggestion'). Who knows though... maybe B&N is full of it? Quote
ghost of miles Posted November 19, 2006 Report Posted November 19, 2006 Maybe Tom/umum cypher has a U.S. publication date? It's on my birthday & Christmas list as well. Quote
chris olivarez Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Ordered the book. Awaiting it's arrival. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 I'll be getting it as well. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 From B&N today regarding the Morgan book: We regret to inform you that our supplier has changed the release date on the pre-ordered merchandise listed below. Quote
Dan Gould Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 From B&N today regarding the Morgan book: We regret to inform you that our supplier has changed the release date on the pre-ordered merchandise listed below. What, is the new date a state secret? Or did the email just say the date is changed. B&N's website gives "November 2006" and also lists it as usually available in 1-2 weeks, so they're not accepting "pre-orders". Amazon still says November 30. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 They didn't offer up any additional info re: the expected release date. Quote

jlhoots Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 At least it appears to be available, as opposed to Bouncin' With Bartok which has never appeared. Quote
ValerieB Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 do folks here know that lee's nickname was "howdy doody"?!? don't know how he came by it and am wondering if it's mentioned in the book. Quote
bertrand Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 I was told it was because he had big ears (see photo above). Bertrand. Quote
Cali Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 I was told it was because he had big ears (see photo above). Bertrand. That's it, and his ears sat out from his head. That coupled with his broad smile, there was a resemblance to the famous puppet. Billy Higgins, who had been Lee's best friend, used to say, "Howdy Doody (Lee) was r-r-rough!" Quote
pasta Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 that's exactly what the book says, and morgan did NOT like the nickname.....not surprising, really! the book is EXCELLENT. well researched, and entertaining to read also. Quote
Cali Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 Man, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. Quote
ValerieB Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 I was told it was because he had big ears (see photo above). Bertrand. yes, i had forgotten that. thanks, bertrand. Quote
bertrand Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 I'm sorry I haven't replied to your PM, things are crazy these days (I'm at work until 11 most nights). Bertrand. Quote
ValerieB Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 I'm sorry I haven't replied to your PM, things are crazy these days (I'm at work until 11 most nights). Bertrand. as you know, it really had very little importance, so there's no problem at all! best, valerie Quote
