Zenpundit has…Great Powers!

October 15th, 2008 by zen

Received my uncorrected proof, limited edition, advance copy of Great Powers: America and the World After Bush today. Nice ! As a serious book collector, I love having these editions. Dr. Barnett was kind enough to let me see some of the early draft chapters but this is my first look at the almost finished product.

Much thanks Tom!

    I eagerly await the general release.

    Also looking forward to your eventual review–both on ZP and on Anti-Library.

    I’m quite jealous! Dr. Barnett should have sent out a couple early editions to use poor college kids. Definitely looking forward to your review ZP. If only winter break would come faster so I can books like this.

    Remember what Uncle Ben taught us about book reviewing: with Great Powers comes great responsibility.

    I laughed out loud at Dan’s comment.

    Tom is facing some tight publisher control on the freebies this time around – he’s pretty generous with them as a rule but I think the hammer came down on this one.

    Will review  here & at AL after I send Doktor Tomas & Sean comments.
