Jesse's fourth edition is certainly cause for celebration in an otherwise horrific moment of human history.  Let me contribute to the celebration by posting a link of sorts to what may be the best article I ever wrote:

Google the phrase "motherfucking texas court."  The first hit listed will be the article in question, which supplied major antedatings of Jesse's first edition.

Many thanks, Bill, and thanks to other members who have replied to this. There are in fact a number of ADS-L members who have contributed to the book (and Bill's suggestions are more substantial than he modestly states here), and who are thanked in the acknowledgements.

I have more info on the book on my personal site:

I would of course be very grateful for any additional suggestions, corrections, reviews, publicity, online sharing, etc.! I think there's a lot of great stuff in this edition (it's a substantial update, not just a few additions for copyright purposes), and I'd love to get it out there.
