A Quick Note about Professor Myers' "A" Book

Ever since our conversation with retired English professor Robert Manson Myers, we’ve been inundated with questions about how to find his new book, “Ars Amatoria,” which contains only words that begin with the letter “A.”

Publisher Sherry Clontz of Jostens Books contacted us with the information below:
