We haven't written about our book lately because, frankly, it is not out yet and so there is little to say. We have, however, been busy working with Oxford to get SSD for R: An R Package for Analyzing Single-Subject Data ready for market.
We have worked with the copy editors, who have been wonderful, to make sure both the text and the art work look good. We have SO many graphs in the book that this took a while. We had debated putting so many in, but we really wanted readers to be able to step through each of the functions while they are analyzing sample data. The best way to do this, we thought, would be to provide visuals so people could confirm that they are getting and interpreting their output correctly.
Then, we got the galleys. For those that aren't familiar with publishing, this is an electronic version of what the final product should look like. We were blown away! The text is laid out really nicely and the publishers integrated the graphics with the text well. It looks gorgeous, if we do say so ourselves.
So....
Get out there and pre-order the book! You can find it here on Amazon and here on Barnes and Noble. We worked hard with Oxford to keep the cost of this book down, and you'll see that they obliged us. We wanted people to be able to purchase our book with out breaking the bank. When you check out the links, you will notice that, for now, the cover is not shown, but trust us - it looks snazzy!
