okay, so i will NEVER order usps media mail. it has no time guarantees, and can deliver a simple package anywhere from 1-3 weeks. i only chose it because it seemed like the most reasonable delivery option. the others cost almost as much (sometimes more) than the value of the package itself!

i'm referring, of course, to the first (actually second) printing of "marsilani 4" which was 10 books. i'm kind of frustrated, because i've been mentioning it to people, but without a book in hand, it kinda still seems pretty abstract...

oh well.
