Backordered at Our Warehouse?

Oh, no, say it ain't so!
But there is an alternative before you try the website that got its start selling books and now has downgraded books in its priority list (below floor sealant!)

Thank you for your support!
For those of you not interested in ordering from that largest river in South America that rivals the Mississippi and the Nile, but BoF is out of stock at the warehouse, try our new affiliate, Bookshop, started by a Columbia University MFA who just wants to help the Indies out a bit while being able to put a meal on the table for himself and others.

We Now Are Affiliated with Hummingbird, a Great eBook Resource!

Based on the Book ...

We are always delighted when someone sees a movie in the book, because now, millions of more people know about the book! It might have been a great film or it might have been a total dud.
But, read the book yourself to see just how good or different the original is!
