Definitely not Kegan Paul- he still hasn't gotten paid for "Soup", last I
heard, and his comment on their pricing was that he couldn't have afforded
to buy himself a copy :-O His last publisher was Scarecrow Press, for
"Historical Dictionary of the Mongol World Empire"
(

which was somewhat better as far as pricing went, but they've still got it
in their heads that Paul's stuff is "textbook" writing, rather than intended
for a more popular, hobbyist- type of market. Not sure who will be
publishing it this time- I'll fwd this to him and ask.

FWIW, he and I have been discussing putting together a less expensive
edition of "Soup", probably somewhat siumilar to the paperback edition of
Milham's Platina, but he's been extremely busy, and finding the time is
difficult.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
