Nanotech Pioneers Released Today




Finally, my book, The Nanotech Pioneers: where are they taking us? has been released—in Germany. Since it is written in English, I’m not expecting huge sales there. The publisher, Wiley VCH, is the German arm of John Wiley and Sons, which is headquartered in New Jersey. Nevertheless, American sales apparently won’t start until they get around to shipping them across the pond. Amazon.com says that the book will be ready to ship March 24, though Amazon outposts in Europe are shipping in January.

If there’s a German reader of this blog, please run out and buy a copy of my book and then write a glowing review of it for Amazon. Unless you don’t like it, in which case send me a nasty e-mail (steven.alan.edwards@gmail.com) and forget about it.

I don’t have a copy of my book yet, so don’t ask. In any case, all my copies have already been promised to folks who gave me helpful info while writing it, plus my mother wants a copy. She promised to read at least the first chapter.
