Requests for our new free booklet about Geor

in at the rate of about 1,200 a day since we first
announced it. That response is highly gratifying
to us, but it also has been slightly disconcerting
and we are temporarily out of books! The
presses are rolling, however, on a big second
edition. Within ten days we hope to be catching
up on back requests. So please be patient with
