The following item came in over the Bayes email list:
Hi,
My name is Jo Fitzpatrick and I work as an Acquisition Editor for Packt Publishing ( www.packtpub.com ). We recently commissioned a book on Bayesian Data Analysis and I’m currently searching for an author to write this book. You need to have good working knowledge of Bayes and a good level of written English. Please email [email protected] for more details.
Thanks,
Joanne Fitzpatrick

Hey, I think I’m qualified for this! Although maybe not the “good level of written English” bit, as I only speak American. . . . In any case, I am happy to see that the term “Bayesian Data Analysis” has become generic.
Can I sign up to do this, and plagiarise large sections of BDA3 :)
(I’ll even change the American spellings into English)
Just sell them BDA3–they’re so clueless they probably wouldn’t even notice.
*I’ll* sell them BDA3. When AG catches me, I will, of course, deny everything and accuse him of anti-Canadian bias.
Corey, you have to copy it together from different books on bayesian data analysis. Then everything is fine and it’s not big deal.
Oh, right, thanks Daniel! That opens up several enticing possibilities…
Think I’ll mix a little Error and the Growth of Experimental Knowledge in there just for a laugh.
Corey, this could become a very fruitful co-authorship. Maybe we can find some way to quote something creatively from Wegman, too.
No, not BDA3! We’ve already learned on another thread here that this book and others like it “do not grant reality any representation”! Surely if we’re going to the trouble of plagiarizing we can do better than that.
You could plagiarize from Judea’s “Causality” book ya know! :)
Andrew, but all in the statistics profession do not really care about representation of reality. We can just plagiarize the first that comes along. ;-)
