Regular readers may remember me writing about writing a chapter for an edited volume resulting from a conference I participated in a couple of years ago in Helsinki. Well the book finally arrived this week - this is a detail from the front cover. I am finally a published academic :) I keep looking at it and thinking "ooh, get me!"
Of course, the first thing I did was turn to my chapter, where I spotted a typo. May I just say how much I loathe MS Word's autocorrect with the burning heat of a thousand red hot pokers? Why thank you. (I'm also cross with myself for not noticing it before, it was a Romanian word so I couldn't expect the editors to spot it. I had read it SO carefully. Oh well. I'll have to aim for perfection with the next chapter, about which I am still in considerable denial, as the deadline is quite soon after my PhD viva).
