I ordered my copy in anticipation of my trip to New York for the exhibit. Anyone else planning on attending?

I too am travelling from Toronto Ontario to the Met. I will be at the symposium as well as the exhibit. I found a good deal on a hotel in Newark. Using Hotwire I was able to get a 3.5 star hotel (Hilton Newark airport) for $59 per night.

I plan on being at the museum most of the day on Friday, Nov. 13th.

If you're in the UK it's cheaper, quicker and easier, to get it fromAmazon.co.uk

Cheaper on Amazon.

The book is both hard and soft bound. The Met's price for the hardbound edition is $65; lower online prices might be for the softbound edition.

The link doesn't work for me...now it does! Must be the Peter effect. Thanks for the swift fix.????

[Pete Klein]

You must know the Peter Principle....well the Peter Effect is the magic that happens whenever a Peter makes things happen just by commenting.
