Keith,

Savas-Beatie is coordinating taking orders for signed copies.  You  
can order right on the web site: www.savasbeatie.com.  Ted will then  
notify us of who's ordered and we will handle signing and shipping.

To answer your question, no, I don't.  I think he came to his  
conclusions after much consideration and analysis.  From where I sit,  
it's pretty clear to me that Meade outgeneraled Lee pretty badly at  
Gettysburg.

Eric
