Holy smokes...

Today what should appear on my desk but the "complimentary author's copy" of the book. Cover price is $249.00, of which I will not see one cent. I'm pretty sure nobody else will either--I suspect nobody but the authors will ever give it a second glance.

While I finished the bulk of the work on this in 2006, I have to admit I'm floored by the glacial pace of the publication process. Granted it contains 20+ chapters, each written by a different author (or authors). Organizing this must have been a hell of a task. In retrospect I'm glad all I had to do was write the damned chapter.

Well, one more thing to add to my CV.
