Dateline: in the Shire, Indy, 3 August 2005
The uncorrected proof copies of BFA are going out now. Putnam will send to basically the same list we generated last time. If you have a case to be made for receiving one (review promised or something else truly special like your vaunted title/position/sense of self worth (hey, it works for me most days!)), then fire me an email with a snail mail and your best pitch and I will judge (very gently--I mean, my biggest biz opportunity of my career came about after some "nobody" asked for one last time, as in Steve DeAngelis, so you can guess what a pushover I am), sending on the proof-worthies to Putnam's PR people (Michael Barson runs me this time, although old hand and good buddy Steve Oppenheim will be involved as well).
Relatives go to the head of the line, natch, but they will come from my private stock.
