jeff jordan said...: It was 03% when I voted. I just got a young man writing to ask if I teach or take on apprentices--I said no, I don't, but go out and buy Imaginary Realism and Color and Light, my usual response to such questions. Congrats, Jim!; February 18, 2011 at 11:30 AM

Zeitwolf said...: Hey James, I tried to get my hands on a copy of the book, but it's not available in any bookstore online or anywhere... it seems it is sold out. I hope they are making a new edition...

PS. voted, of course :); February 27, 2011 at 8:23 AM
James Gurney said...: Zeitwolf--thanks for the vote. We've got the book at the Dinotopia Store (at www.dinotopia.com)——and I can sign it for you. The second printing is on a boat from China, so you're right--the first printing is hard to come by at most retailers.; March 1, 2011 at 8:07 PM
Zeitwolf said...: That's a wonderful offer actually. Now, it would be great to live in the US sometimes ;-)
...but now I know the ship is on its way I will patiently wait in eager anticipation.; March 6, 2011 at 2:14 PM

Vox said...: I have been waiting for your book to be available in the UK but its been out of print for some time now. Any news on the second edition, Lord Gurney?; April 5, 2011 at 9:52 AM
James Gurney said...: Historian, it should be coming back into stores very soon now, as the new printing makes its way across on container ships. Sorry for the inconvenience--the publisher underestimated the demand.
