advance proofs
My USA publisher, Rodale, has just sent me a pile of advance proofs of Why Sh*t Happens - their version of The Undercover Scientist. It’s a smaller format so the book feels more chunky and pocket-sized. Their intention is to get a few more nice reviewers’ comments for the cover of the final version and generate a bit of advance interest. They also plan a 20-city radio satellite tour and some print features, so I may be busy next year. And on the subject of interest, my iphone application has generated so much extra traffic on my websites that I’m in danger of exceeding the monthly maximum in the first week… I’ve had to reduce the size of all images (which has the advantage that everything downloads faster) but at this rate I may have to switch to UCL servers soon.
