I’m amused that Amazon lists your name as “Ph.D., Philip Plait (Author)” for “Death from the Skies!: These Are the Ways the World Will End . . . “, as opposed to just “Philip C. Plait (Author)” for “Bad Astronomy: Misconceptions and Misuses Revealed, from Astrology to the Moon Landing ‘Hoax’”. I think someone at Amazon doesn’t know how to correctly list Ph.D. after a name.

Did you see Kate Pickert’s comment on a similar book “The End” by Marq de Villiers in Time of December 1, page 14? Her choice of Read-Skim-Toss?
“Skim.”

I’m looking forward to receiving my copy of Death, though, and I will Read-Read-Read it!

I’d just like to say, your book is a pretty good, quick read. It has one major failing however,,,it’s about 300 pages too SHORT.

One of the reason I like being under employed is because it gives me lots of free time to just think and read. All that time goes to waste if what I’m reading slides by too fast. So, Phil, could you make the next one 600 pages???

The paperback edition will be less painful.

Sid’s review definitely explained the obvious. Phil learned the use of footnotes from HBB*.
