I followed this project and attended some of the AAG conference sessions. Great to see it, but not that it is published by a decidedly non-radical commercial publisher and nor freely available online with Punctum, Open Book Publishers, etc. [in which case, the ‘reach’ would be much greater]. There is a huge contradiction there.
Yes, this could have been done differently. I suppose it’s a good thing it is available in paperback, and I can see the logic of the Antipode series, but there are other options.
