See what Eddie Tabash said about my self-published edition <A HREF="http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com/2007/09/eddie-tabash-recommends-my-book.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>. Consider also that <A HREF="http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com/2007/12/david-mills-author-of-atheist-universe.html" REL="nofollow">David Mills predicts </A>"it's going to be one of the top atheist books ever published."<BR/><BR/>As a self-published book my present one isn't in any stores, just on Amazon. Some people don't think much of self-published books since they are a dime a dozen. When Prometheus Books publishes a book they immediately send out 200-300 copies to the major media outlets around the globe for reviews. When this book is laid into their laps there will be a slew of recommendations on the back cover and on the inside pages which will make them sit up and take notice. And once they do read it I think they will see that it presents some powerful arguments, even if they disagree, which will lead them to write about it. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, this is all to be seen. I'm just hoping David is right.<BR/><BR/>The Prometheus Books edition is an extensive revision of my self-published book. When it hits the stores the other one will be discontinued.<BR/><BR/>I don't believe you'll get it much cheaper than right now. And it will give Prometheus some kind of idea how many to print for the first printing.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind that the rankings at amazon fluctuate quite a bit from week to week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-2661106894570404372008-01-07T09:16:00.000-05:002008-01-07T09:16:00.000-05:00Yeah, I just ordered it yesterday, now that you me...Yeah, I just ordered it yesterday, now that you mention it (among 8 other books on my most wanted list). Amazon says I can't get it until Feb. 28th, though. With all the hype, I am expecting this to be one of the best books around arguing why atheism. It better be good, John!
