It has arrived!
It is a nice feeling to hold it in my hand. Of course, the first thing I noticed when I opened a copy up: two typos!

About Me
- Name: Chris Tilling
- Location: London, United Kingdom
I am New Testament Tutor for St Mellitus College and St Paul's Theological Centre, London. Less well known is that I am also the original writer of the now famous song “Beans, beans, good for your heart…”, and inventor of the “you must have fallen out of the stupid/ugly tree” repertoire of insults. I am the main proponent of the Human Faecal Matter for Brains Opening in chess (actually not what I wanted to call my brilliant and original opening Knight manoeuvre 1.Na3, 2.Nc1), and I also claim to have independently discovered the haiku™ poetry form (© Copyright Chris Tilling 2007) without any help from the Japs. My blog, Chrisendom, is primarily occupied with biblical and theological themes – especially those Apostle Paul shaped, but I try as best as I can to squeeze in a decent amount of inappropriate baloney on the way.

I take it that those are not consecutive volumes--I/1, I/2, I/3.1, not that I want to hold you back.
Congrats.
Beautiful! Congrats again!
Chris,
Same thing happened to me when I opened my WUNT (162). I went over the thing with a fine tooth comb and when my copies arrived I found a typo in the preface, where I dedicate the work to my father. I took some comfort, however, when Jimmy Dunn told me that his first book (Baptism in the Spirit) also had a typo, in the dedication to his mother. So I think we are in good company and perhaps it is a sign of our future output. I mean if Jimmy's book had a typo, well . . .
Congratulations. Big mistake showing a photo with a big pile. You will suddenly discover a lot of new friends who tell you just how fascinating your book looks!
Yes — the cursed typo: it's always there waiting to spring out on you.
Thanks, all! And your typo, John, makes me feel so much better!
