My research of Renaissance Art in Florida requires me to visit Ca’d’Zan (a Venetian Gothic style from 1920s), and miss the meeting.

Speaking of things that are too long to read in full, please find attached, FYI, an article version of my master's thesis in religious literacy, which was published a few days ago, and which you are welcome to peruse, or to delete, as you see fit.  Also, here is a link to access the article free: http://mh.bmj.com/cgi/rapidpdf/medhum-2025-013480?ijkey=OQzamzTm4Zo2pzU&keytype=ref

Cheers,

On the other hand, Steve, people could also read your book! Even irreligious Angie liked it.

Steve, 

Your dissertation is dense but logical and thoughtful. Seems a welcome addition to our new cultural norms.

Is there a reason your children’s version is not on Kindle or as an ebook?

I was going to show it to my granddaughter, but couldn’t find it. Her grandmom and I read to her at bedtime when they visit.

[Angie Boyter]

Oh, Mike, the illustrations are great, and the need to be on hardcopy!

[Mike DiFilippo]

I recall from your copy that the illustrations are marvelous but I read to them from an iPad and I can assure you that the colors are as vivid or even better than print.

[Steven Clark Cunningham]

Unfortunately, Mike, there is no Kindle version. But I’m happy to send you a PDF of the book if you like.  If you like it, maybe you can buy a hardcopy from your local book seller, ideally in Florida, to gift to somebody else.

Steve.

Thanks, I ordered a copy from Queen Takes Books in Columbia. I'll pick it up when we get back first week of March.

Awesome - THANK YOU, Mike!  Orders from brick-and-mortar stores, especially in other states, are fantastic because they prompt the distributor, Ingram, to stock up the warehouses.

Thanks, again!!!

Steve, 

So you are saying it makes a difference where I buy the book?

Elucidate a bit more, please. I almost always buy ebooks but do buy hardcopy occasionally . It is hard to get an ebook autographed!

[Steven Clark Cunningham]

Yes, buying it from an actual bookstore shows demand and so the warehouse serving that region may then stock some, and the bookstore may keep some on the  if there’s demand.
