The book is available for sale at creativetime.org/store and in bookstores worldwide—but if you can’t wait long enough for it to be mailed, you can download chapters from the book and a host of additional content at creativetime.org/godotbook.

I got an announcement this morning for a new title by the photographer HUGEAUX, Northeastern Florida Wetlands, which led to a link with what seems to be 6 self-published titles. I’ll try to start acquiring them for review but in the meantime you can check them out here: http://www.hugeaux.com/photographybooks.htm

My new book, Representing the Black Female Subject in Western Art is out this month with Routledge, NYC. Please find the flyer which has a code for a 20% discount. I would appreciate it if you would please encourage your college and university libraries to get a copy.

I will be having a book launch at Paragraphe Books (2220 McGill College Avenue) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada (corner of McGill College and Sherbrooke Street West) on Thursday, June 17th, 2010 at 6:30pm. I hope that some of you can make it!
