One day, back when I was blogging via Wordpress, I stumbled across another science blog called Not Exactly Rocket Science. I was very impressed by what was posted there, and it is no surprise that ScienceBlogs eventually snapped up Ed to write here.
Ed has earned a reputation as one of the best science bloggers out there, and now you can purchase a collected volume of some of his best work. Announced yesterday, Not Exactly Rocket Science contains about 80 of Ed's well-crafted pieces. I definitely encourage you to pick up a copy.
Now the question is, "When are we going to see the bound version of Tetrapod Zoology?"
[I have occasionally considered collecting the best of my blog posts in a volume, as well, but I don't have much motivation to do it. I can't beat Ed's style, nor Darren's expansive knowledge of zoology. (Plus, I often cringe when I go back to read my own work) I don't think Laelaps would make the blog-to-book transition well, and given my general dissatisfaction with my own work, picking out entries for a "best of" collection would quickly grind to a halt.]

For the record, I would snap up Laelaps: The Book in a heartbeat :-)
I can already think of some posts I'd include in such a book if I were putting it together. In fact, you could hire me to put it together, although it might take awhile, with grad school and all. But I'd do it!
You could always get us, your loyal readers, to vote on your "best of" . Laelaps would make a great blook!
