SDMB - Straight Dope discussion

Hello smart people,

For the past five years, you have entertained me with your razor-sharp wit and sometimes absurd discussions on the SDMB. As a long-time lurker, I soon realised that participation in your chicanery would have been akin to entering the field of play naked during a professional football match. In short, I lacked the padding and feared the hard tackles I would inevitably have to endure.

Having found you here, in this more genteel setting, I would like to take the opportunity to compliment you all on helping to maintain my faith in humanity in a world where stupidity often seems to reign supreme.

I hope some of you will do me the honour of reading my book. If so, I am prepared to accept whatever chastisement you feel I deserve.

Thanks and best wishes,

Richard

I read that as "I bring you kudus" and got all excited.

I'm not very entertaining & lack in both razor-sharp wit and absurdity (at least online) BUT I did like the sound of your book so I will be keeping my eye open for it.

You'll be glad to hear that there's an intriguing factoid about kudus in my book, which is set for online release in Canada this April

By the bye - as a book-loving Canadian, which site is more popular: Amazon.ca or this Indigo.Chapters thingy?

I'd say Indigo/Chapters. My experiences with Amazon.ca aren't very positive.

Excellent. Thanks.

And I prefer Amazon.ca, I loathe Indigo.

Since April 1, I have harboured a deep-seated hatred for both. Neither of them apparently took the trouble to locate a distributor for my book. It's Monty Python's cheese emporium all over again.
Dejectedly,
R.

Once Chapters & Indigo merged, they became the dominant bookseller in Canada.

Some individual stores survived (Munro's in Victoria is amazing) but I don't know if they can help you.
