Well, it is always interesting to see how these things work. I was looking up book availability for my course in the Spring on Amazon (you know, is the book in print, in paper back, reasonably priced, etc.) and I thought I'd see if they list my new book written partly in this blog and through the project I've been leading here at Yale. And sure enough, although I've heard nothing from the publisher (Eerdmans) and they have nothing on their website, Amazon has the book listed complete with a cover all designed that I've never seen! Oh,well. I guess I like it. Stock photography showing a road and bridge. So a "way" I guess. I sort of like the way they've laid out the type on the cover, however, and so on first glance I'm please. People think authors have a say in this and perhaps famous ones do, like my boss Miroslav, whose new book The End of Memory (also with Eerdmans) has a cover picture that I helped him choose from about 12 options. I'm honored and very excited to have Miroslav write the foreward for the book.
I also learned, to my interest, that the final manuscript is a tight 128 pages and will cost $15 list price but $10.20 from Amazon. It will be released May 15. That feels along way off at the moment!
