I got one! I got one!

The wait has been oh so long, and I was afraid I would explode with impatience, but here it is, all seven hundred and sixty-six pages of it. The first word is The and the last one is wake. Yes, Hensley's History of Victorian Gardening - A Critical Study is finally here!!

I'm just messin' with ya.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix may well be the most eagerly awaited book ever, but I've managed to keep from reading it at least for some time. Tomorrow I have an hour-long train ride, so I'll start then and make other passengers envious.
The book was handed to me at a few minutes past 12:00AM GMT in one of the two English-language bookshops in the city. It feels strange to be in a bookshop in the middle of the night; without the people walking around in it, I'd feel like a burglar.
As I walked home, I passed a line of people stretching out from the door of the other bookstore, winding across the street. I couldn't resist showing my copy to the jealous throngs.
