As one of the co-editors of the series of which Erica's book is a part, I am happy to hear the enthusiasm about the book from the list. Erica's book promises to fill a big gap on all of our bookshelves in terms of ceramics ids.

I'd like to invite others who might not be chastened by the initial part of this discussion to consider writing that guide to artifact identification and interpretation that you have been thinking about/yearning for. We welcome your proposals!

Too much talk about what's in a book that doesn't even exist yet. The original
ad indicated it was going to be published in October 2010. The copyeditor is
just sharpening her blue pencil now. We can take advance orders so that the book
will be shipped to you the day it arrives in our warehouse.

Thanks for all the chatter about this soon-to-be-book. We're considering paying
people to diss future books to create similar buzz. :-)
