I'm not quite sure what is up with people...but, they seem to be buying, already, copies of the paperback edition of Storm World on Amazon.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that there's 5 % off on Amazon.com book preorders. I'm not sure.
In any event, given that I am devoting this weekend to writing a scintillating new introductory essay to the paperback edition, seeing some preorders come in was really inspiring.
Now I'd better deliver.
Also, I thought I'd preview, at this point, the new cover image for paperback. What do you think of it?

...three copies of the hardcover edition, anyway. I'm not sure when new hardcovers will be in stock. But in any case, this is as good a time as any to make another mention that the new paperback version, due out in roughly a month, is available now for preorder. It's an updated version of the…
So...it is not exactly easy to find history of science classics at your average--or even your well above average--bookstore.
The class I'm officially taking here at Princeton, History 293, focuses heavily on a course packet and so doesn't have many officially assigned books. It does have a few;…
I am leaving on Thursday (19 November), and still have a mountain of books to give away. I could give them to NYPL or I could give them to you (if you pay postage). I prefer to give them to you, but you have to act quickly because I have tons of things I need to take care of before I leave. I'll…

LOVE this cover because the image of Katrina gives a sense of what we continue to face and why this subject is so important to explore. (I also love the paperback price). As I said in July, Storm World is an excellent read for everyone with interest in engaging in the great science and policy divide...
It's a complex topic where the characters are real and the 'story' affects all of us. And now with a sexy new cover--I've already preordered mine!
Nice cover. You can't underestimate a good font. This one's sharp, even compelling. Goes nicely with the bottom frame image. I like it alot.
I really like the storm's size relationship with the Gulf, and how massive it was coming to shore. It's only gonna take a couple more of this size to wake up enough people, I hope.
