I just had the privilege of reading a small sample (ten pages) of the text that John is preparing for their upcoming book.

You are not going to want to miss this one. The writing style is great; it's easy to read, but chocked full of details and quotes from original sources; I could not even complain about sentence structure and punctuation! John even knows the proper use of apostrophes!!!

The team hopes to have the book in publication by the end of the year - and yes, I am threatening them because I want it out in time for our 2014 conference in March.

These guys have labored through this project despite the distance between their abodes. One lives in Canada, the other in Texas.

It's one I shall be buying.
