Anyone know of a place in Seattle I can pick this (or the other Documents of Contemporary Art books) up?

Thanks Eric, but I picked mine up at Elliot Bay already. Mostly because a) I wanted it NOW and b)I saw a chance to support local bizzness (not sure Amazon counts anymore).
I've only read the first few entries in this book and they are great, opening my eyes to new things. If I make it through (not much of a reader) I look forward to others in the series, especially "Artist's Joke".

Fox News Channel has announced a list of 2011 banned words including the word "fail." Go figure.
