The people at Brill have kindly offered a 25% discount for the book to my blog readers. It is an expensive book ($256) - nearly 700 pages - so this will be a substantial discount ($64) which reduces the price to $192.
People always ask me why these books are so expensive. I am not in the publishing business, but what I am told is that the reason that these kinds of academic books are so expensive has to do with the print run. They have very small print runs - just enough to sell to the world's libraries.
When you place your order with Brill, use the discount code 47900, and you will receive 25% discount. ISBN: 978-90-04-18141-0. The toll-free number for ordering in the States is 800-337-9255. The discount is valid until December 31.

Print run, Schmint run.
You can order a book printed to order online(that's a print run of one) for less than 40 bucks. If they charged only 40 bucks a copy, they'd be able to print probably 5 times as many.
I might even buy one.
VERY EXCITING!
Any chance we can get a sneak preview of the table of contents?
Thanks,
Andrew
