The Open Laboratory 2008....and 2009?

The Lulu.com page has already been viewed 1160 times, 30 blogs linked to it so far (see the bottom of the announcement post for the list), a very nice number of books (not tellin', sorry) has already been sold, and review copies are on their way to American Scientist, The New Scientist and Seed (I am also expecting a call from Nature as they reviewed the previous two anthologies as well).

The book was the homepage Buzz on Scienceblogs.com the other day - see this for photographic evidence. And the Discover Magazine highlighted it in their March issue - see this.

The guest editor for 2009 will be announced next week so check back here in a few days.

In the meantime, start parsing through your blog archives since December 1st 2008 and start picking your best posts for the next anthology. You can now start submitting your entries via this submission form.

Editing the 2006 anthology of the best writing on science blogs was a fast, whirlwind affair - with a little help from my friends, I put it together (yes, from idea to having the book up for sale) in less than a month. As it was quite a success and I expected the number of entries to double (I was…

I can't wait to see the reviews. I ordered my copy the other day and am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive in the mail.
