Matt, When do you anticipate having all chapters in hand? We will be leaving for portugal on September 8th and not returning until September 24th. If there are things I need to attend to....gotta get them done before that time. My chapter and Jacques chapter are in; hopefully Tom's and James's is on the way....and we need to finish off the introduction....I can attach what I have in a separate email....what else before they to Springer?
