Hi Martin,
This is really weird... I have no idea how they could turn 285
pages into 404... unless they make the print really huge and spread it out more.
They better NOT have added "stuff" to it without my permission-- I warned them
specifically not to. They wanted to get the opinions of other scientists and
include them as counterpoint. No way!
I'm frustrated with the behavior of Columbia University Press and
have been for quite a while, now. In fact, I even requested that they drop my
father from their publication list, but they refused to do that. They have done
things without informing me, they have told me things which later turned out to
not be true, etc.... They are unimaginably slow to get these works out in the
marketplace, and have multiple, unexplained delays.
In short... they suck. Sorry it's impacting you.
However, "Life, Itself" is relatively easy to find in libraries
because it's still in print and that's also the reason it doesn't go
missing the way "Anticipatory Systems" does.
I will attempt to get an update from the publisher and if they have
any useful information, I'll post it here.
Cheers,
Judith
