I'll decline the twenty copies of "What is Lojban", since I have only met one person here who was even vaguely interested, he's a die-hard Esperantist and he's going to Saudi Arabia soon anyway. One thing I can recommend, though, is that if and when it shows up on amazon.com, someone write a review of it (not me - I've already done that for TCLL). Nothing too gushy - write as a linguist or conlang hobbyist. If anyone here's still a member of the auxlang list, a post there would be in order too (I unsubscribed in despair some years, but lojbab may still be subscribed). robin.tr -- "A strategy is still being formulated."
