The Vancouver book has involved similar kinds of support as with Queers in Space but was only conceived of in the last six months as the publisher of Queers in Space started pulling out Vancouver content at the last minute. If you are interested in receiving a pre-publication copy or of arranging a review or examination copy, please get back to me. No rush, I doubt that we will see this book in the stores until mid-1998. > >As for other projects, we presently have two publishers vying for "13 arguments for a theory of queers in space" (Ingram, Bouthillette, and a cast of thousands) and it will probably go to the university press. We have written most of it and it is already too big (over 100,000) so I will be cleaning it up in late 1997... > >**************************************************************************** >gordon brent INGRAM Ph.D. environmental planning >1230 Hamilton Street #204 >Vancouver V6B 2S8 CANADA >voice mail: 1(604)669-0422 >fax: call ahead to confirm location >email: gbingram@axionet.com >*************************************************************************** > **************************************************************************** gordon brent INGRAM Ph.D. environmental planning 1230 Hamilton Street #204 Vancouver V6B 2S8 CANADA voice mail: 1(604)669-0422 fax: call ahead to confirm location email: gbingram@axionet.com ***************************************************************************
