Of Permanent Value - Andrew Kilpatrick

[dcollon]

The last printed version I bought weighed about 5 pounds, so I'm guessing the Kindle version works much better for most readers.

In the end of last week, Friday, I took delivery of two cheap sections of a semi-sh*tty IKEA version a socalled bookcase called Billy :

 

 

['Billy' in Swedish and Danish is very close to Swedish and Danish 'billiga', 'billig', which means 'cheap']. I found a place for them, to shoehorn them in, in the house as a preventive play, contingency measure, to avoid divorse because of my book hoarding. I sensed clearly it started to cling a bit hollow in the ears of the Lady of House, that my reply to what I was going to do about it, was to continue repeating, that she can't divorse me, because I'm not married to her.  [ ]

 

Now that the two sections are delivered, they have to be assembled [IKEA, you know!?], and I sense the static electricity is now building up again because I haven't assembled them yet. [It was Friday AM they were delivered, and I was busy yesterday, The last weekend is just over, I newly retired, - what else can I come up with?

- A new version of this book would be the perfect acid test of these new bookcases!

As far as I can see, a Kindle version only available. One of the coming days, I'll ask Mr. Kilpatrick by e-mail, if there will be a printed version of the book.

 

Today, I finally got to it, and have sent an e-mail today to Mr. Kilpatrick :

Dear Andrew Kilpatrick,

 

Here I'm taking the freedom to bother you again with a question related to your book, referring to our correspondence by e-mail in April 2024.

 

I see that you on Amazon have released a Kindle version of a 2025 edition of your wonderful book in February 2025. Will there be a printed version of this edition?

 

I wish you all the best and a great weekend.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

John Hjorth

Then it finally comes to my mind : 'How is it I'm hit by this feeling of a deja vu?' ...

-Everything Berkshire related is about 'Wait, wait, wait', and them some more 'wait' !
