John Dupuis, the Confessing Science Librarian, wrote a review of three science-writing anthologies, including the Open Laboratory 2006, which ended up in the highly respectable second place, nested between two professional collections.
The beauty of online on-demand publishing is that one can correct errors on the go, as in "right now", not waiting for an official Seocnd Edition and such. So, I'll try to fix a couple of things John noticed before the book gets an ISBN number and starts getting shipped to the real bookstores.
And, with ten months instead of three weeks to work on it, Reed Cartwright and I will try to do an even better job on the 2007 Edition. So, start sending in your entries now.
