SOme of you may remember that I was trying to find a copy of the book, "My Human, My Slave" to send to Tony/Jill in New Zealand. It is out of print, and the only copy I was able to find at that time was on ebay for $100.00; and that was just too much.

I looked on Amazon.com last week and there were two used copies available for half that price, and I ordered one. Still pricey but I wanted it. It larrived 2 days later and looks brand new, and is very funny. It was written by the "toolady" and from a parrot's perspective. It tells parrots how to choose and train their humans. In the process, it is also teaching humans about bird behavior.

When I was looking for the book for Tony/Jill, I emailed the author to find out if it was going to be reprinted. She printed it herself the first time, but didn't plan to reprint. She did say a publishing company (I think in Canada) was considering printing it. I emailed them, too, but did not get a response.

This books reads a little like Dot's writings about the aliens (but not quite as funny as Dot's). If the toolady isn't going to publish this again, I think Dot could do a whole book on the aliens.

What do you say, Dot? I don't have your talent and imagination, so I can't do it.

You should help, also, since you know the language.

I was just on there, and they had 3 copies, guess who else got one?? I decided 50 was better than 75 or 100, and I've been wanting one for a couple of years hoping for a reprint.

Is it too late to cancel your order? I went on the website to point out some minor typos and puncutation erros in the book. And, guess what! It is now available. Under $9.00 to download, about $16.00 or so for a paperback and $27.00 for a hard cover.

I don't know. This would have to be Dot's book. All I could do is maybe edit. I wish she would do it, though.

Evelyn Only if Dot approves, perhaps another side of the conversation?

I think anybody who knows the language should volunteer. Unfortunately, I don't speak it (but I can read it).
