This just in from Berkeley: my book manuscript has gotten final approval from the University of California Press!
Though based on research I originally did for my doctoral dissertation at Northwestern University, I have written the book for a broad audience. It tells the story–nay, backstory!–of wine in France and America. The title?
Wine Politics: How Governments, Environmentalists, Mobsters and Critics Influence the Wines We Drink
Does it grab you? Are you ready to pre-order from Amazon?!? Well, hold that thought: it won’t be out until Spring 08.
Until then, you can browse some of the other wine titles from the Press.

Congrats, Tyler. As one Northwestern degree-holder to another, way to go! I for one have already pre-ordered it through Amazon, which frankly does amazing work flogging books that aren’t yet printed. As for UC Press, they do great wine books.
And, more “joy” is yet to come: correcting page proofs, which is what I am supposed to be doing now. At least your book is on wine! (Sigh.) I recommend laying in a stash of favorites now for that task…

PS. I mispoke. I put in for an author alert. I am confident UC Press is logging on to Amazon as I type so that they can put up an ISBN and I CAN preorder it!

Congrats, Dr. Vino! I’ll send you one of my books (Building Buzz, from Career Press) to help you promote it! But I have to say that your blog audience will probably buy out the first run. http://www.AWineStory.com

I guess now when your son wonders what kind of work his dad can do from home in his pyjamas you will have something to point to. You must be very excited.
Congratulations!
