No but I have just ordered it.  

Charles Perry regularly attends the meetings of the Culinary Historians 
of Southern California, even when he isn't the main speaker.  Should we 
try to ask him nosy questions sometime on behalf of this list?  I am 
missing the March meeting due to a date change but maybe another month.
