RELEASE NOTES:

mailed to soulbalm of Edinburgh, Scotland to revive a stalled bookring.

I hope you enjoy this book, soulbalm.

Wow! A book in the post from overseas. What a treat. And how kind of you tabby-cat-owner to send a book to restart a broken ring. Thank you thank you.

I really want to read this book soon (partly because the author is coming to the Book Festival here in Edinburgh in August).

NOTE this book replaces a previous copy of Bel Canto which was on a ring started by AliceF. The remaining ring participants are:

UTdaisy - TX - no reply to PMs (January 2008)
atnaturesmercy - NJ (ships US/Can) - wants to be removed from ring as she's already read it (January 2008)
Satnam - NH - wants to pass just now, as real life is taking priority (January 2008)
mlbish
And then back to AliceF, who started the ring

The original ring book can be found here: Bel Canto, Ann Patchett

I loved this book - and had the pleasure of meeting the author at the Edinburgh International Book Festival in August 2007.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

On its way to mlbish. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
