I’ve just finished checking through all the queries with the copy-editing of the manuscript of The Birth of Territory. This must have been quite a job, given the length of the manuscript and the number of foreign words and references. Fortunately I had an excellent copyeditor – fantastic attention to detail without being too picky. The next stage will be the page proofs in a couple of months time. Hopefully the cover and a University of Chicago Press webpage are not too far off either.
