Yayyyy!

And, I wonder if the book will have a separate chapter on each of those aspects of the subject matter!

I'm surprised that it is published hardcover.

It should have been released in loose-leaf format with an option to purchase an annual updating service.

I know it was difficult for Demo to draw the line on writing and start publishing, but the material covered reminds me of the 'marching Chinese' theory -- (If all the Chinese march past you ten abreast at a certain rate, the parade will never come to an end.)

Unfortunately, as soon as the author's (figurative) pen hits the desk, news of another sovereignoramus insanity hits the front pages.

Oh well, there's always the possibility of a sequel.
