The new book will be more than twice the size of that book, so I think the odds on anyone else producing anything better, are virtually zero, and this is why I want the new book to be as good as possible.
Okay, some small publishers will undoubtedly turn-out "monographs" or similar books, but large publishing companies just don't touch this kind of subject any more (wish they did!), so I think it's fair to say that the new book will be as good as it gets."
Modest as well, I see................
Yes really - I have no commercial interest in the Vulcan project whatsoever. If you'd like to check with my publisher, feel free to do so, okay?

Why do so many people seem to think these discussions are about trying to score points? Couldn't we just discuss this important project like adults?
