surely will be able to get the book today

I’m so eager to see a French variant on an object-based approach (I’m referring to Garcia’s Forme et objet, of course). But my efforts to obtain a copy have so far been little less than cursed.

Today ought to be the day when I finally obtain a copy. I don’t think the French really have anything like “Boxing Day,” and this is now Monday, so the bookstores ought to be open, right? I have to go over to that part of the city on other business anyway, so I’ll soon find out.
