Seidita- thanks! Boy, this thing turned into a monster, huh?
Duritz- You can indeed buy a copy! But at $75 US or more a pop, you may want to keep your eye on exchange rates for a while first.
Again, it should be out late next year, or even (boo!) in January or February of 2005. Academic publishing is a glacial enterprise. Once things start to happen, I will remind everyone, and I will be making autographed copies available through my personal website. But stay calm, that's still a year or so away.
As for the Vicky forums, rest assured I will appear there. Not for a while, perhaps- I'd hate for my reputation over there to get too cold before the book comes out.
I wonder if I owe Paradox any money for using the forum as a marketing tool. I'll just keep buying their games and hopefully that will keep them happy.
( Speaking of Vicky, you may want to check out the leader files for the Metis rebels of Canada. You'll find a tiny, tiny slice of immortality for TSATN there.
