It may be back to the drawing board for this book. Neal-Schuman’s not happy. Some of the reasons I understand, some don’t make a lot of sense to me based upon the hundreds of librarians I’ve spoken to in the past few months. I’ve been given a few options on how to proceed including dumping the project altogether. Considering my life and schedule in the immediate future, my gut reaction is to bail but I don’t think I’ll feel good about that decision in the long run. I’ll be talking to NS either in the next few days or early next week. More as it becomes available.
