Wow. I just saw this list and I am on it! I will be representing the Space Coast of Florida! I am looking forward to reading and joining in the discussion! I have an interest in Theodore Roosevelt in that my wife was a park ranger/interpreter for the park service at Sagamore Hill. Thank you, Bentley. I'll let you know when the book arrives. :)

Bentley responds:
Folks who have acknowledged that they have seen their name on the list are in bold.

Thx Teri, Lorna, David, Helga, John C, Francie. Nick - Lacey - Holly; also Tomi, Betty Jill; Jordan and Michael, Lewis, Becky, Karen and Nita, Kacy, Donna, Kressel, Glynn, Jason, Jill, Christopher

Please post that you have seen your name on the list and then I will erase your last name (and replace either with the first letter of your last name only or your screen name) and your listing will be bolded. We need to know that you are aware that you won, that you are aware of the t's and c's and that you must post back also when you have received the book.

Attention All,

The publisher St. Martin's Press has told us that all books have been mailed.

As part of the T's and C's - please post here when your book arrives and let us know that it arrived safely. Don't let us have to chase you down to find out if the book arrived.

I will be posting the syllabus here and on the table of contents thread - follow the timeline and reading schedule outlined and do not get ahead so that we can all discuss the book together with the author who will be joining us.

I just saw this and recognize that I am on the list and that I will be receiving this book shortly. I also recognize that I need to alert you when I receive the book and that I am obligated to take part in the discussion of this book. In fact, I am looking forward to taking part in this discussion.
