Richard Dawkins Wrote:Long before Houghton Mifflin's current difficulties arose, I had signed a contract for the American edition of my next book with Free Press (a division of Simon and Schuster). The British edition will be published by Trans World (a division of Random House) who also published The God Delusion. The new book is called "The Greatest Show on Earth: the evidence for evolution". I delivered it to the publishers last week, and it will appear in the autumn of 2009. Nineteen contracts with foreign language publishers have been signed so far.
Although Houghton Mifflin are not my current American publishers, I had a very good relationship with them and I wish them well. I understand that they have announced a temporary freeze on buying new books. No doubt the freeze will enable them to concentrate on promoting their excellent back list, which includes four of my books: Unweaving the Rainbow, A Devil's Chaplain, The Ancestor's Tale and The God Delusion.

Bad news for that specific publisher, but good news for us. Next year a new book by RD on Evolution, just as I like it.
