If you buy now expect an August delivery. Industrial Press has mega-faith in me - this book is not yet complete and already they are taking orders!
I put my ISBN into BookButler.com and found 5 on-line sellers overseas that will sell me my book for more than twice the list price and they will ship it in 4 to 6 weeks. OK, but I haven't finished it yet!
Now if I buy my book that isn't finished yet and copy what hasn't been written yet am I plagiarizing?
