good news and bad news re: xtant 4
well the bad news is there's none left! Jim Leftwich reports from Virginia that he mailed the last one out on Thursday! (maybe Tom Taylor has some in Washington?) And maybe if there's enough demand they'll do a second run! so: demand!
the good news is Tom Taylor assures me the spine can withstand any amount of scanning! so i put it to the test here this morning and sure enough it's still in mint condition and we've got another ten pages to whet our appetite!
