  Why, thank you, Rob!
  You don't have to wait that long to read it if you wish - PDF and online versions are available for free at https://www.aupress.ca/books/120320-how-education-works/
  Naturally I recommend the paper or e-book versions for a more satisfying reading experience (disclaimer: I may be biased because I get a very small amount of money for every one sold), but these will do at a pinch.

  Hello Jon:
  That is wonderful, and thank you! I am happy to pick up a copy as well. Whether you know it or not, I have been stalking you for some time (not in a creepy way) and learning so much from your way of learning and teaching.
  I can't wait to read your book!
  
  Best regards,
  Rob
