Since I've just signed off on editors' proofs for my chapter in the forthcoming Cylons in America edited collection, I thought I'd paste this little advertisement from Continuum's 2007 Pop Culture catalogue to remind myself (and anyone else interested) that it should, in fact, be out before the end of ...
