Well, I'm supposed to write up a couple of courses for it and that is one of several things on my to do list -- but not near the top, because no one else has finished their part yet, either, as far as I know.

Can anyone tell me more about the book?  First I heard of it.

I had the pleasure of spending dozens of hours with George near the end of his life and got a chance to peek through the "book" which really was just a D-ring binder full of notes and observations. It's going to take a lot of work to go from George's notebook to a real book.

Gib was George's editor.  That's an editorial job.
