- Leigh Speakers' Bureau:
The Eighteen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.

Because Tyler is East Coast OG,and you're the more popular second wave?
Or because he checked his mail first?
Or because you got the Heller first?

Weird; your name was on the list. My guess is that the copy went astray en route. I'll send a new one tomorrow.

Related to East Coast OG, because mail takes longer to get here from there? My New Yorkers don't arrive in my Oakland mailbox until Thursday, by which time I have read the entire contents online.
Posted by: Leila Abu-Saba | July 21, 2008 at 06:32 PM
My last two New Yorkers arrived simultaneously last Saturday. I think they were trying hide the Obama cover.
Posted by: Gene O'Grady | July 21, 2008 at 08:30 PM
For whatever reason, arrival of the New Yorker in my corner of Florida is unpredictable. Usually at least a week after publication Monday.
That's nothing compared to an academic publisher that used mail/local delivery with tracking. The books got to Orlando by mail quickly enough. DHL trucked it to Fort Pierce on the Atlantic coast, then north to a place called Rockledge, then back south to Vero Beach. It took a week. The humble USPS ships direct from Orlando to VB.
Anyway, PUP is a marvel, at least for evolution and ecology.
