Yet even again more reviews of DEATH

A few more reviews of my book have surfaced…

If you read just one review of Death from the Skies!, let it be this one. You’ll see why.

You can also read ones from the Apex Book Company (not to be confused with the Susquehanna Hat Company), World of Weird Things (true enough), and Austroscepticus.

Of course, if you read the book, you can write your own review and I’ll link to it here.

Hmm, I should write a review just for the fun of it! Although I have so many other projects sitting on the back burner right now…

Isn’t there a danger the book would be reviewed to death?

I wish reviews counted as citations; that might encourage me to write a book.

OK, now to go check out that review that has BA raving.

Will there be an opportunity to get the book signed at TAM in July?
I finally ordered a copy from JREF when I booked TAM the other day, along with Neil Tyson’s latest.

Dave, are you sure it’s not at AmazonUK? I thought several bloggers here got their copies that way.

I have my signed JREF version, and I love it. It’s my precious! Sadly I am stuck at the office, so I can’t reach my blog to write right now.

You know I didn’t quite think of that (altho I prefer going to a book shop) and it is on the UK site, looks like a birthday present

Thanks for the link Arensb.
