The ABC Bookbox arrived today, tantalizingly boxed in a "frozen farm-raised catfish" box {grin}. (And, as so often happens, it arrived while I have another box on hand, so I'll be very busy for the next couple of days!) Hope to get the box moving again soon. Thanks! [Some of the Garfield jokes were amusing, but I kept thinking of the quirky deconstruction of the strip in Garfield Minus Garfield.]

FYI update:

There is a very strong possibility that this bookbox has already been lost in the mail. It was mailed with DC and no updates since March 10th by the post office. Both myself and spfldjohn have notified the USPS about the missing box and since it was only travelling from MA to NY I am not holding out hope. If it reappears that will be great but meanwhile I will try to get some more books together and restart the box with emmejo.
