Congratulations, Ian! I can't wait to read it.

In the meantime, the book is indeed available at Amazon
UK<http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ulster-Scots-Short-Reference-Grammar/dp/1468166638/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1340643993&sr=8-4>.
This means that other Amazon branches will carry it any moment now.

[Folks, I will add Ian's book to our Lowlands-L
Shop<http://lowlands-l.net/rummage/shops.php>shortly (sometime this
week, when the book is available in all relevant
countries). If you want to support Lowlands-L defray a portion of its
"overhead" (which I've been paying for out of my own pocket), please access
Amazon through these portals. A small percentage of the profit will go
Lowlands-L (petty cash). This applies also if you go through these portals
and end up buying items that are not mentioned in our shops.]

Also shortly, I will add another Scots-related work:
James Wilson, *Lowland Scotch: As Spoken in the Lower Strathearn District
of Perthshire* (1915)

If any of you are familiar with this work, what is your assessment of it?

By the way, those of you who are interested in Scots and are on Facebook
might like to subscribe to the group Scots Language
Centre<http://www.facebook.com/groups/126242628908/>.
It's full of interesting and useful material.

Gest regards,
Reinhard/Ron
Seattle, USA
