For the first time ever, you can buy a book! Again!

Physicist: For those of you who pre-ordered my book (You’re the real heroes.  Thank you!), you probably got an email from Amazon this morning saying that your order was canceled.

But have no fear, the book is definitely not canceled.  Last year, Springer gave Amazon a rather optimistic publication date, last March 14th, but didn’t bother to update it for several months.  When that time came and went (plus eight weeks) Amazon figured that the book didn’t exist and temporarily pulled the plug.

Bureaucracy’s latest victim: the pre-orders of “Do Colors Exist?: And Other Profound Physics Questions”.

Here’s the good news.  It’s fixed.  You can now pre-order or even re-pre-order through Amazon and the books will be ready to be shipped by May 28th.  I’m speaking to Springer calmly and with measured tone about providing some kind of special deal through this webpage to apologize for this mass canceling.  Until that happens: I’m really, really sorry to everyone this has affected.  Please consider ordering again.

And if it hasn’t affected you; listen, it’s a really good book.  You’d like it.
