I already pre-ordered my copy on Amazon, won't get it until February though. Glad to see this wonderful book is getting some attention! I can't wait to read it.

It's on my wish list as well, but as my b'day is Thursday, and I already know what my wife is getting me, I may have to wait a while. It sure is an interesting story, though.
