I know this is an old thread, but I saw this poster and immediately thought of the BA’s book:

Congrats on finishing the manuscript. Mark Voit is actually the person who introduced me to your first book, and your website. He was my Astronomy professor when I was a student at MSU. I’m looking forward to reading your second book.

Dr. BA, can we all go to Sweden to see your Pulitzer speech, please?

Cool!

Your path to enlightenment is assured, for to enlighten others is to enlighten ourselves.

(Now, where’d I put that danged flashlight?)

Will you have a pre-purchase option for your devoted fans?

Count me in!

One small step for a man! But a giant leap for mankind!

Congratulations, I can’t wait to read it! It will be great fun to read it, of course, just like your first!

Btw: Now that you finished out the book and do a well earned “rest” – maybe you have the time to make some more episodes of “Q&BA”? I think I am not the only one here wishing that! Maybe you can think about that, too!

Congratulations, but don’t get complacent yet. I think it was Mario Puzo who said “The secret of writing a good book is in the re-writing!” Not his exact words but the closest I can recall. And, it seems, he rewrote large parts of his books not just once or twice but many times.

Bravo!

I saw you give your “Mars Attacks” talk to the Sacramento Valley Astronomical Society a few years ago. I was the guy in the eighth row, muttering furiously because I forgot to bring my copy of your book for an autograph!

So, I’ll buy two copies of “Death From the Skies;” one to read, and one to get signed, someday.

Congratulations, and many happy returns.
