Just got 3 more books yesterday! The production is really really impressive. I'll have more contests for them later next week. You're going to want it!

I agree. I bought the book and it came in the mail yesterday. It's a very unique book, and I'm having fun reading it so far.

One part I really like is at the end of each chapter, he's included comments and references about some of the things that have been covered in the dialogs in that chapter. That includes references at various levels, from popular literature to peer-reviewed journal articles. Good stuff. :smile:

Comic book page with dialogue bubbles and panels, including a panel of a dark swirling black hole with a red dot and a panel showing a cracked, colourful surface with a glowing centre.

The read is definitely accessible but I wouldn't say quick.
Some parts quick. Others, not so much... :biggrin:
