POP GOES KOREA Comes to Korea

At long (loooong) last, it is done — I now have copies of POP GOES KOREA in my hands.


(And there was much rejoicing.)

My first thought — Nice!

My second thought — Don’t let there by a typo on the cover.

My third thought — Dontlettherebeatypoonthecover-dontlettherebeatypoonthecover…

Fortunately, I am pretty sure there are no typos on the cover.

Many thanks to all the good people at Stone Bridge Press for doing such a nice job. Great design, lots of color pictures, and very catchy. And there is a very well done index in the book, to help out any academic types.

It took a long time to get here. Well over a year (two years?) of just pitching the idea to numerous publishers. Then writing the first draft. Then re-writing, answering questions, and all the work needed to get the book into good enough shape to go to press.

Thanks to the many, many people I bothered and pestered, too. A lot of people had to answer a lot of questions for me to write this. I really appreciate everybody’s help very much.

And now, we wait for the reviews…

So… what to do next? Another book? Something totally different? Hopefully I will have something interesting to report here before too long.

(Oh, and so far I have found two typos in the book. Sigh.)

    Thank you so very much for the index.

    But I’m PISSED bigtime that you I wasn’t “bothered and pestered,” though I’m sure it was because of my own inadequacies.
