Deadwood tenured hallway trolls and random misogynist scientists everywhere are on high alert! The Grand Dame of Science Professor Blogging, Female Science Professor, has distilled, organized, re-writted, edited and arm-wrestled her best blog work into a "book-like" thing: Academeology: Random Musings, Strong Opinions & Somewhat Bizarre Anecdotes From An Academic Life. w00t!
It is available for purchase (print or download) from lulu.com.
The witty, erudite, inspirational (and occasionally plain intimidating) observations of FSP are a staple of feed-readers and blogrolls so I hardly need to point this out for my audience. No doubt most of you already are big fans of FSP (if not, what in the heck is wrong with you?).

I have already downloaded the book and am looking forward to my monkey sleeping so that I may read through and provide some witty blurbs. She definitely is the Grand Dame of Prof-blogging

While fully acknowledging that she is the GrandDame of science blogging, I actually have trouble reading FSP because, to read her posts, she hasn't been challenged by anything substantive for a very long time, and her posts therefore have a shallowness of purpose that make it hard for a struggling scientist trying to scrape by to relate. YMMV.
