Is it overly ambitious to shoot for March 31? Or maybe April 10?Also, I know it's available as a kindle but anyone have a line on where to pick up a hard copy for a reasonable price? Amazon options somewhat daunting.

We have a wholesale, not used, bookstore near here where I think my Dad found this one for me. It is fully illustrated, just a beautiful collector's edition, and I wouldn't think it cost him more than $10. Books there are just really inexpensive.

I was thinking 2-3 months by the size of it. Perhaps, we could shoot for April 30. This would still be an aggressive pace, if that is, indeed, what you are looking for.
No, I'm ok with a more laid back pace. Knowing me, I'll pick up two or three books besides this in March alone, so I guess my eyes are bigger than my stomach.

I like the leisurely pace also. I just got a copy from the library - it's abridged and beautifully illustrated, a sort of coffee table book. I hope it matches somewhat the unabridged versions. I'm sure I'll be able to keep up. :)
