Zaf,

As we all try our best to await the completion of your definitive book of JLC, could you please give us an update on your progress? Do you have an ETA?

Thanks,
Bruce

I don't have an ETA but I finally go a hold of some material and a few watches that were missing like the "Quartermaster" model. I have 2 young kids and they're taking up a lot of my time at the moment, so I'm not on the book project full time. I'm trying to dedicate one day a week to it, but even that it not easy.

Hi Zaf,

It's been about 8 months since I last bugged you about your long anticipated book on JLC. Any closer to an ETA? After all, Father's Day is right around the corner and I'm making my list. Of course, if need be, there's always next year's Father's Day.

Thanks,
Bruce

The text is done. My editor gave it to me back last week, with several hundred "minor corrections". So I am fixing those now, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

It's looking like late July 2008 if all goes as planned.

Excellent. Best news I've heard all day. I'm sure there will be quite a premium for a signed copy!
