Feels surreal to share this—our book is now available for pre-order! Pre-order is quite important for the visibility and impact of a book, so I will be sharing a few times between now and the official August release date. Please share with colleagues! https://t.co/jBVXTunj9u

Arrived today: new editions of @MandrnCompanion books & new Level 2 Sherlock Holmes that I look forward to reading. Font size is bit larger compared to 1st editions - nice! I lost some 1st ed books last summer to students/prof who kept my copies from summer camp: good problem.📖

Loving these short translation centered on the phrase 不亦快哉 (bù yì kuài zāi), "is THAT not a delight?" (or something else, depending on the context). This is NOT modern Chinese, but the translations really make it all so relatable.

Thanks, @bokane
