Not Exactly Rocket Science - the Book

Folks,
I’ve just published a book.
Not Exactly Rocket Science is a collection of the best pieces from my blog of the same name. It’s an overview of some of the most interesting biological research from the past year.
It’s completely self-produced and self-published, and is now available through Lulu for the tiny sum of £9.99 or a can of beans depending on how bad the financial crisis gets.
So if you fancy it, please buy a copy, give some to your friends, tell other people about it, or blog about it.
And here’s what science writer Carl Zimmer had to say about it: “Few blogs make a smooth transition from computer to paper. Not Exactly Rocket Science is one of them. Ed Yong writes elegantly yet engagingly about all manner of biology, from yawning dogs to viruses of viruses. Turn off the laptop for a while, and crack open this book. You will be pleased you did.”
Cheers,
Ed

Hi Ed, in my pedantic way, it is “folk” (collective noun so does not need the plural).
I am currently conducting a one-person campaign about this word “folk” (or more often, sadly, “folks”). Its popularity has suddenly increased compared with the previously popular “all”, “everyone”, “colleagues” etc. Anyone know why?
Good luck with the book, by the way.
