I don't think this was an announcement of publishing success, Jayne; more of a
whoop-de-doo! at having finished the grunt-work on the book and thus having room for some of those other lovely things.
We can sing it as a sea shanty (all together now...)
Soon may the publisher come
Delivering Walter's encomium
And then, when the dealing is done
He'll put it on Acc.Mem.
And here's the tune to help us with our melodious unanimity
