> The book, an expanded written version of the NPR radio series put together

> <http://www.equinoxpub.com/books/showbook.asp?bkid=210> ) or on Amazon.com
> both in the U.S. and U.K.  The Amazon  listing is still incomplete, lacking
> a description of the book's  contents. 
> 
> Rick Rickerson writes, "It looks like Equinox did a very nice job in the
> layout and  printing.  The front cover design is simple but attractive; the
> back cover contains reviewing comments graciously provided by Dick Tucker
> and Deborah Tannen. I was delighted that, given their busy professional
> lives,  Dick and Deborah were willing to read the book on short notice; and
> deeply touched that they endorsed it so  positively.  The text on the back
> cover also notes that the Talkin'  About Talk series was nominated for LSA's
> "Linguistics, Language and the Public" Award."
> 
>      He continues, "The book will sell for $12.95 a copy,  which should make
> it accessible to a fairly wide readership. I hope  that's the case, because
> royalties, after we've paid expenses (such as the indexing), will go to the
> fledgling National Museum of  Language, an initiative that Barry Hilton and
> I feel deserves the support of the profession."
> 
> All authors contributed their work pro bono.
