  • Update on my book

    Several people have written me asking about when and whether my book will ever be published. I won’t go into all the details except to say that major problems have been encountered in getting the book’s index properly formatted and keeping it accurate with regard to page references as the book format has evolved in preparation for printing. I’ve been very careful with the index because I regard it as one of the potentially most helpful features of the book since, as it turned out, the book is not only an introduction to the psychology of the Course but a fairly comprehensive introduction, overview and summary of the entire ACIM thought system. After all, the system of psychology implicit in the Course cannot really be separated out from its metaphysics and overall message.

    Anyway, I have finally approved of the latest draft and it is now going forward to be printed. Here’s what the publisher’s representative wrote to me this morning:

    Thank
    you for approving the latest proof.

    After
    we finalize things on our end we will upload your files to printing.

    I
    will let you know when I can give you a definitive time line….

    Please keep in mind when ordering, that there are 2 time
    constraints- print time and ship time. 

    Regular print time is: 5-10 days.

    Rush print time: 4 days (add 20% to the price).

    Normal Ship time: UPS ground (approx 3-5 days).

    Second day shipping and overnight shipping are available
    options that will be billed extra.

    There will be a Web site set up by Outskirts Press where the book can be obtained and it is likely that it will be available through Amazon and other bookstores. Also, for those who attend classes at the Foundation for A Course in Miracles, the book will be available there as well. However, it will not be available through the Foundation’s catalog, either on line or as printed in hard copy.

    I will post additional information here as I am updated by the publisher.
