Comment
So, I rewrote my 2003 book, Designing Virtual Worlds, from scratch. It started to get so big that it needed to be split into more than one volume. The first of these, which I spent maany months writing and a few more months indexing and making conform to Routledge's editorial standards, was completed in early June.
Today, I wondered whether there was a publication date, so I checked the Routledge site.
Yes, there was one: 8th August 2025.
It's been out for almost three weeks and I've seen no mention of it anywhere, let alone received a copy myself. I doubt any copies have been bought, either.
I'm perfectly capable myself of publishing books with no accompanying publicity; I don't need a professional publisher to do that for me.
