So, what have you decided about how many copies of GP to buy? Who could you give a copy to? A young person with some interest in international affairs? The lughead who likes to blame China for our current recession?

Here's another service Tom will offer: if you don't care to send your books, he will send you a self-adhesive inscription that you can place in your copy. Comment your name and address on this post (or email it to me if you're paranoid about that sort of thing) and Tom will pay for the postage out of his own pocket.

Come, on: that's worth the price of a book right there!

So order up! (And, in case you didn't see, Borders counts, too!)
