When I've loaned books in the past, they've seldom been returned without prodding, and sometimes not at all. These days I'm inclinded to buy books for folks, rather than lending my copy. Amazon is only a few clicks away. This note got the job done in only 24 words.
Bob,
Have you finished reviewing the presentation book?
If so, I'd like to take a look at it. If not, keep reading.
Thanks,
:B
