'''Newsletter No 10 - 4 November 2017''' | |||
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
'''Dear Author,''' | |||
'''Just to update you on the publication process of the Global Encyclopaedia of Informality!''' | |||
'''GOOD NEWS!''' | |||
* We have managed to return the first proofs of the Encyclopaedia with changes more or less on time | |||
* Second proofs will need signing off I mid-November, but no further changes will be required. | |||
* I have assembled a list of endorsements for the back cover. | |||
* As far as I know, the following ISBN numbers are confirmed: for Volume I it is 9781911307884 and for Volume II it is 9781787351912. | |||
* We heard that our publication date is 11 January 2018. | |||
* It is already possible for libraries to order the book on Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=global+Encyclopaedia+of+Informality | |||
* We plan a book launch event on 22 March 2018 in London, hosted by the UCL Global Engagement Fund and FRINGE Centre at the UCL Institute of the Advanced Studies. | |||
* The book will be available online, in open access, free of charge. | |||
'''GLOBAL BOOK LAUNCH!''' Given that our project embraces five continents and 66 countries, | |||
let us make it truly global. It would be great to launch the books in as many countries as | |||
possible. If you have written an entry, please organize a book launch event at your | |||
university or organization for colleagues, students and guests. We already have volunteers | |||
to host book launches in New York, Paris, Tokyo, Montreal and Moscow. Please let me know | |||
if you would like to host an event – we will send you leaflets and can set up a Skype link for | |||
the event.<br> | |||
I look forward to hearing from you! | |||
Best wishes, | |||
