"The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!"

Finally, after three long weeks of waiting and watching for the postman to get here, my new book, Hollywood Economics: How Extreme Uncertainty Shapes the Film Industry by Arthur De Vany here. I decided to have Amazon.com send it to me the cheapest route possible, to save money. If you order something from Amazon.com, you can actually forego paying for shipping and handling (kind of cool), but only if you don't mind waiting three weeks. The book is gorgeous - I almost don't want to open it or else it'll get all bent up and gross. It's in some kind of funky font on the cover, with a picture of Jimmy Stewart from Vertigo hanging by his fingertips (during the opening scene of the movie) and is published by Routledge.

If there's a nearby Waldenbooks you can get them to order any book from Amazon (they're affiliated) and you won't have to pay S&H and it takes about a week. All for no extra charge and the price you expect from Amazon.

Since you(like I) have a very strong interest in the
endeavors of Hollywood, I think you would enjoy dealing with the Stock Market, the Hollywood Stock Market that is. You must(immediately) go to HSX.com.....I'm addicted. Just like the real stock market, except the securities are based on the strengths and weaknesses of Hollywood...Check it out.

Be careful, I've heard that Amazon.com hates these cans.
