How big of a book would the collected output here be and how are you going to get it published (plus Relativism So What as a post-script longer-form essay a la Barthes' "Mythologies")? I'll keep ears tuned to my tiny slice of academia over here...

54,000 words, more or less. A lot of the ideas in those columns need further thought, which is both an argument in favor of publishing them in book form and an argument against publishing them as is. UGA Press would have the right of first refusal over any book I were to propose. Certainly only some of this stuff is the best of what I've written over the last several years. I'd say that Rolling Teenpop is at least as crucial an achievement, though with stuff like that we're in the same situation as Dylan in the liner notes to Bringing It All Back Home when he said, "Yes. Well I could use some help in getting this wall in the plane."

in ref the "book as bumper issue of WMS", you certainly have enough material to make the pitch btw, to yr RPDWB publishers or to whosoever else -- i will try and put together a potential list here
