Wow. That's brilliant. Congratulations. I bet it feels good to touch. As soon as Morgs saw me open up the University of California Press website he started conjuring ways to get us a US mailing address ASAP! :)
Philosophers usually baffle me (a humble historian) with their terminology, but this is one I must try.
Does the price look high? Judging by some academic books I have seen lately, US$50 or so looks almost reasonable, but it depends on the yoyoing A $ rate. Not available in Australia yet?
Not available anywhere yet, John, until September. I am investigating the cost - a sister volume is only $39.95US and it has colo[u]r, so given that I gave up my royalties on the first run, I expected it to be lower in price.
I don't know what the paperback will cost, but I hope it will be in the US$20-30 range.
Congratulations! I'm glad that University of California Press has opened their author list to gorillas ... next, the bonobos will be publishing literary criticism and field studies.
As long as they only leave publishing open to the great apes, I don't think we have to worry about cdesignists getting in... I do look forward to reading it when it becomes available. Just out of curiosity, do you delve into bacterial and viral "species" at all or do you stick with eukaryotes?
In that book I don't delve much into bacterial species - that was something fairly recent. But I do have a published paper on the topic (unfortunately, they mixed up the figures - you can work out which is which easily).
September 2009? And what am I suppose to read during the summer then?
congratulations!

I never did Italian, so I don't know the right things.
They told me June. Bugger. I don't have a physical copy yet.
Congratulations!
I'll add that to my amazon wish list.
Goes on my wishlist...unless there's a paperback version in the offing!
Has Katsuhiro Otomo picked up the rights yet?

Well done, John. Don't forget to have Cal send a review copy to your favorite weekly science journal beginning with N.
Don't forget the little people when you're gallivanting around the globe in your Gulfstream jet!
I'll wait for the film.
Congratulations. I will buy it as soon as it becomes available.
I may even read it. :-)
Interesting Cover.
Why is the book called "No Image Available"?
Well, it's a play on the Naturphilosophen view that one can "see" a species rather than define it, you see...
So, when I buy my (suitably) expensive copy, how do I get it autographed?
All you need do is fly me out to the US, and I will sign it... for free!
Wanna signed copy, too!! (A word to the wise, though, be very wary of anything a lawyer wants you to sign.)
Many congratulations, John.

Very sweet --- on my list.
Most excellent. The thickshakes are on me.

Yippee! That's fantastic news! I look forward to a copy for my Christmas stocking.
Have you checked your contract to see what happens over the film rights?
