I am so proud to be one member of the thousands who impressed the editors....who knew! And I am delighted we'll soon have another Joel Miller book to read. Please hurry...I'm 94 and every day counts! I would like to use your Tuchman quote with our book group, Well Read Moms. These women are for the most part very Well-Read, however, we do have members who are not habitual readers, but are diligent about our choices. (The Four Quartets, for example) Can you give me the source of the quote? Thank you.

Congrats!

Interesting how Substack can actually help a brother out in publishing. Never thought about it that way.

By the way, have you heard Fr John Behr’s talk, which he delivered about 8-10 years ago on the history of a scroll and book? I can’t recall now his point, but he did go through the history of how we read.

I love watching people work. Almost as much fun is reading about people and their work, thanks for both some new insights and the validation of some already held thoughts. Looking forward to the results.

Absolutely fantastic. So happy for you. Not sure the book would be something I would otherwise purchase but, having followed your writing here on Substack, you can count me as someone who will purchase it when it debuts. The strength of your writing is certification enough. Sincerely. Your writing has expanded my horizon of interest and I'm looking forward to hearing more about the book once it is completed and released. Congrats.

Hurrah! I'm looking forward to reading your book. And I am encouraged that things I'm researching and working on now in my little margins of time could materialize someday!

Way to go bud. I remember the “book about a book” idea. I love how this process is an idea death and resurrection journey.
