[Buddha-l] With apologies for cross-posting...

[Richard Nance]

Hi all,

Those of you who subscribe to H-BUDDHISM will already have received
this notice, and I feel a bit sheepish about posting it twice, but
some of you may not hear about the book otherwise (university press
advertising budgets being what they are). So here goes:

I have been asked by my publisher to engage in a shameless act of
self-promotion: the announcement of the publication of my new book,
_Speaking for Buddhas: Scriptural Commentary in Indian Buddhism_ (New
York: Columbia University Press, 2012). The book is now available for
purchase. The cover price is $55.00/£38.00, but I've been told that a
30% discount has been made available for those who place orders via
the following link -- simply enter the promotional code SPENA when
checking out:

http://www.cup.columbia.edu/book/978-0-231-15230-3/speaking-for-buddhas

(I've also been informed that there have been some glitches involving
use of the discount code today. If you attempt to buy the book and
find that the site is not allowing you to take the discount, I'd
recommend waiting a few days and trying again. The relevant
powers-that-be have been alerted to the problem, and it will hopefully
be resolved soon.)

The contents of the main book page on the Columbia University Press
web site are reproduced below for your convenience.

I hope that the book will be of interest to some of you!

Best wishes,

R. Nance
