John Scalzi sends along photographic proof of How to Teach Physics to Your Dog<\/cite><\/a> working for a dog who isn’t Emmy:<\/p>\n

This isn’t quite an “in the wild” shot, as it’s not at a store or a store-bought copy (John wrote a blurb for the book, so he got sent a copy), but we’re getting close. The official release date is just two weeks from today. It may well start showing up in stores before then (it’s not in the Barnes & Noble store in Colonie yet, though I swear I did not go in there just to check that…). You can, of course, order it from Amazon<\/a>, as several people have obviously done already, since its sales rank is currently in the 33,000 range (I did just go there to check that).<\/p>\n

In other news, I have a few appearances scheduled in the next few months:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan 30: I’ll be at the Book House in Stuyvesant Plaza at 2pm.<\/p>\n

Feb 4th: I’ll be giving a talk at the University of Maryland, College Park. Time and room TBA.<\/p>\n

March 5th: I’ll be at the Barnes & Noble in Vestal, NY at 7pm (Vestal being the closest big-box bookstore to my home town).<\/p>\n

April 10: I’ll be on a panel at the Empire State Book Festival<\/a> in Albany.<\/p>\n

I’ll also be at Boskone<\/a> in mid-February, and I’m giving an invited talk at the APS March Meeting<\/a> in Portland, OR, but there are no book-specific events planned yet for either of those. I’ll post details here, and I’ll add an “appearances” section to dogphysics.com<\/a> in my copious spare time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
