This post is by way of saying I have picked up the book from the printers.

the only times I have ever done a hook turn* have been on Continuum business.

If you have need of a printer, may I recommend Copyplace of Bourke St? They got the conbook done a day early; and they have historically been surprisingly relaxed about payment terms.
